"Oh, you're trouble, aren't you, Pop?" a carnie played by Toni Collette asks Stanton (a cagey Bradley Cooper) in Nightmare Alley. Yep, he is.
In the opening scene, we see Stanton burn down a house but he doesn't speak for the first 10 minutes of the movie, during which he falls in with a carnival and begins to study its practitioners. Soon, he is romancing a colleague (Rooney Mara) and working on a scheme to convince stooges that he's a mind reader in Guillermo del Toro's remake of the 1947 Tyrone Powell movie of the same name.
