    Nope. The Wikipedia article has a bunch of refs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Card_Counter

    I wasn't previously familiar with it, no. I am familiar with the screenwriter/director, though, and respect his work quite a bit. Watching the trailer, I am not sure how much blackjack there will be in it other than to add "color" to the framing of the revenge centered plot. I'll probably check it out once it hits Prime. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    First impression... Looks to me like an amateur movie. At first view they don't seem to grasp the difference between counting cards at BJ and how this method DO NOT APPLY to Poker...
    I will let others evaluate my BJ playing abilities, but I can say by myself, I am not a good Poker player. Simply said, I don't like the game at all and I don't see how BJ card counting could be of any help when I sit with friends to play Holdem except for the fact that some may be "impressed" by something they shouldn't be at all. I always hear that " don't play poker with him, he's counting cards" .... What a F.... joke.
