Genres: Drama
Rating:
A man finds his personal and professional loyalties divides by his new career at a casino in this crime drama. Jack Manfred (Clive_Owen) is a cocky, supremely confident man who wants to be a writer. Jack's long struggle to finish his first novel has landed him deep in debt, and his father (Nicholas_Ball) volunteers to get him a job in a casino in London. While Jack doesn't gamble himself, he has the dexterity (and enough contempt for the game) to be a good dealer. He's soon making a tidy living as a dealer, despite the objections of his girlfriend, Marion (Gina McKee), who thinks his job is taking him away from his true calling as a writer. Against the orders of his boss, Jack has a fling with Bella (Kate_Hardie), another dealer at the casino, and allows himself to be seduced by one of his customers, Jani (Alex_Kingston). However, it turns out Jani wants more than sex from Jack; she and her compatriots have a plan to rob the casino and they want Jack to be their man on the inside. Croupier was directed by Mike_Hodges, whose first film was the classic British thriller Get_Carter. Mark Deming, Rovi
