He's Playing the Hand He Was Dealt.

William Tell just wants to play cards. 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. Tell sees a chance at redemption through his relationship with Cirk. But keeping Cirk on the straight-and-narrow proves impossible, dragging Tell back into the darkness of his past.

Germany German (Deutsch)

Zehn Jahre saß William Tell im Knast. Während der Vorgesetzte seiner Spezialeinheit ungeschoren davonkam, musste William als Sündenbock herhalten. In seiner Gefängniszelle lernte William die Kunst des Kartenzählers – bis zur Perfektion. Wieder in Freiheit reist er von Casino zu Casino. Er setzt niedrig, um nicht aufzufallen, und er gewinnt. Dabei lernt er La Linda und Cirk kennen. Während La Linda die Einsätze vorstrecken und die Gewinne erhöhen will, verfolgt Cirk einen perfiden Racheplan, der Williams ehemaligen Vorgesetzten im Visier hat.

France French (Français)

Mutique et solitaire, William Tell, ancien militaire devenu joueur de poker, sillonne les casinos, fuyant un passé qui le hante. Il croise alors la route de Cirk, jeune homme instable obsédé par l’idée de se venger d’un haut gradé avec qui Tell a eu autrefois des démêlés. Alors qu’il prépare un tournoi décisif, Tell prend Cirk sous son aile, bien décidé à le détourner des chemins de la violence, qu’il a jadis trop bien connus…

Il collezionista di carte

Il film vede come protagonista William Tell (Oscar Isaac), un ex militare che vive nell'ombra come giocatore d'azzardo di piccolo cabotaggio. La vita meticolosa di Tell viene scossa dall'incontro con Cirk (Tye Sheridan), un giovane in cerca di vendetta contro un nemico comune. Con il sostegno della misteriosa finanziatrice La Linda (Tiffany Haddish), Tell porta Cirk nel circuito dei casinò per condurlo su una nuova strada. Dei fantasmi del passato, però, non ci si libera così facilmente.
