I decided to watch "The Card Counter" from Paul Schrader ("Taxi Driver's" script) after seeing a short bit on Netflix where the main character explains how does the card-counting in question work. I never looked into details of it and it seems to be based on a simple principle. But that's not what the movie is about. If I had to point to the main aspect it's the titular character who wants to live anonymous live. Very much like Driver from "Drive" (the book, not the movie).
The Card Counter OST by Robert Levon Been
I watched The Card Counter and Master Gardener to finish off the trilogy with First Reformed. I’m really glad Paul Schrader is continuing to make films. Not that I like everything he does or says. But I think his films are distinctive, a quality that I really appreciate.

His spartan existence on the casino trail is shattered when he is approached by Cirk, a vulnerable and angry young man seeking help to execute his plan for revenge on a military colonel.
