Croupier (1998) Trailer

Croupier

Life's a Gamble

Croupier is a 1998 film starring Clive Owen as a croupier, and was directed by Mike Hodges.

It's tempting to put too much weight on the way screenwriter Paul Mayersberg lays out the intricate rules, shows off the particular lingo, and creates a feeling of being a fly on the wall of a casino in London. With Jack Manfred (Clive Owen)--sometimes "Jake" when he imagines himself as the protagonist of the novel he's writing, but always the pragmatist--as our guide, Croupier is always digging deeper into the shady world of professional gambling, even as its story flounders with double-crosses and backstabs and stretches to tie it to a lofty theme of chance.
