- Synopsis
- The gripping story of a writer who gets more than he bargained for when he takes a job at a casino in order to gather material for a novel. As he falls deeper into his life as a dealer, he finds himself becoming the wretched character that he's been writing about. Mike Hodges' (GET CARTER) film is a taut psychological thriller that features a starmaking turn by Clive Owen (BENT). Complete with a clever twist for an ending, CROUPIER is a highly entertaining thriller from the minds of Hodges and screenwriter Paul Mayersberg.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Taut, tense and enthralling, as smart and surprising as it protagonist."
-
"Intense, hypnotic, assured, Croupier mesmerizes from its opening image of a roulette ball on the move."
-
"Watching Croupier is rather like watching a roulette wheel--utterly mesmerizing."
-
"So sharp and dryly urbane in its mod-Brit take on the noir, noir, noir, noir world of gambling, dames, and pulp fiction, it makes higher-profile attempts like ''Rounders'' look blah, blah, blah, blah."
-
"Immensely rich, clipped and precise, with a sly, sardonic sense of humor."
-
"A marvelously subversive, slyly manipulative effort."
-
"It's brilliantly precise in its detailing, stylishly jagged and sensual by turns, and utterly unpredictable."
