Alex de Renzy (FEMMES DE SADE, PRETTY PEACHES) was one of the greatest directors of adult films ever, his career starting in the late 60's and preceeding well into the 90's. So saying that BABY FACE, stands as his crowning achievement is no small praise. This ranks as one skinflick that truly has it all, a complete storyline, fine production, and a couple of decent acting performances and some of the hottest sex scenes ever assembled in a single movie.
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn Cuddles Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After a near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.
This fancy cathouse provides the perfect backdrop for the movie's myriad sexual situations, nearly all of them handled with great style and enthusiasm by cast and filmmaker alike, shot through with a wickedly subversive humor. Standout scenes include gentle giant Roberts tender initiation of the eager Malone, their contrast in size providing an instant thrill all by itself, and the late great Kristine Heller taking on pretty much all the guys present in what has to stand as the single greatest gang bang sequence ever committed to film or video.
另一种《出租车司机》，老派故事套上了新的外壳。本人对赌博这种手段，算是救赎？完全无感……
是导演很私人很纯粹的电影，大赞极简不浮夸不炫技的摄影，表达欲即便被主观镜头牢牢框住也要溢出屏幕了。where's oscar's oscar anyway
Boys help boys(不是。/《算牌人》不讲算牌，不讲赌博，甚至也不打算讲复仇。/回想起来看过的和听说过的保罗施拉德电影，导演确实拍的一直是同一个故事。/鱼眼回溯过往的方法为什么在每个评论都夸一遍，虽然很好但是——很稀奇？没懂为啥都在夸。/奥斯卡伊萨克帅到令人喷血。我承认我看他看得目不转睛。昨天刚夸了一遍哈维尔巴登。（这真是属于南美长相的一周。）/导演有一种自己的“反高潮”。尤其一个半小时结合拉进度条看内容的时候会有感觉。/结尾致敬《扒手》明确。/多嘴说一句，帅哥男主搭的不是幼龄傻白甜也不是符号化的尤物，同龄、风韵犹存但也像是有故事的样子。希望这种平权细节能多有。
救赎一直是保罗施拉德的核心主题 独特的执着 老派的浪漫 能沉的住气 喜欢
男主很有型 片子虽沉闷 手法却是我喜欢的类型
种族文化大旗深入骨髓了，现在非得一部电影里主角肤色对半才足够政治正确吗？
三星半，Oscar Issac这张冷峻的脸就是全片节奏和风格的写照。算牌只是虚晃一枪，重心是PTSD主题和相辅相成的鱼眼镜头。BRMC的音乐还是很有辨识度的。
La rédemption d’une âme tourmentée.
好久没看过这么男的电影了…以及这么尴尬的对话。证明出租车司机真的无法复刻。
7/10 全方位不如《第一归正会》，赌场是施拉德随手抓的一个类型元素么？
没字幕听Oscar Isaac讲牌的规则我就开始困
莫名其妙的故事，人物关系和进展也很莫名，除了一点虐囚的镜头，真是乏善可陈
让我有点想起《第一归正会》。是我喜欢的风格。
保羅許瑞德。Oscar Isaac。好看。

5/10给我这种观影体验的今年只有两部，一部是《算牌人》，一部是《热带往事》。自带一种迷人的氛围，但这种氛围究其根本却让人觉得冗长无比。影片有一股日式黑暗的氛围（导演曾拍摄过《三岛由纪夫传》），由一个糜烂的创口开始过往，一切如图鱼眼镜头般变形成不可逆转。扑克牌牵扯一种连锁反应，和故事形成轴转体系，但故事如此朴素真不应该。
比《第一歸正會》難看不少。尋求救贖的男人總喜歡在一塵不染的房間裡頭寫字自省哦！可真把WSOP拍得毫無競技性可言。那個USA真是牌技高超的白男沙雕，演員搭配和表演調度看得怪尷尬的。這片子各方面都人工且直白，賭場裝潢不洋氣，但電影不能這麼不講究的吧。
角色之间毫无chemistry 赌博线和救赎线可以说毫不搭嘎 只能为了Oscar的颜加一星
和PTA处女作《赌城纵横》一样，几乎没有展现炫酷的赌博技巧的场面，赌博只是背景板。和保罗施拉德一贯的作品风格，创伤过往的主角，自我毁灭与救赎。监狱虐囚部分的夸张鱼眼镜头有意思，但总体完成不如《第一归正会》。奥斯卡伊萨克梳个大背头还是颇有赌神那神韵的。
