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

CROUPIER is Mike Hodges existential thriller that brought Clive Owen to the screen as Jack, the Dostoyevskian "Double" and gambler Jake. "Jake" is Hodges update on the Post-Modernist Underground Man who thrives as Black Jack dealer in The House of Addiction where the aimless, faithless and hopeless come to barter their souls. Affecting to be an aspiring writer, Owen finds himself drawn into a grime-filled world of low-life, bottom feeder intriques
that become excuses for "living" and lying.
Like Hodges gangster classic, GET CARTER, the film is ultimately depressing. Yet its fascination lies in watching Owen (an anti-hero whose awareness of his self-degradation is both ironic and sickening) yield to the psychological squalor he pretends to dominate as he"abandons all hope" entering a 10th Circle of PM Hell.
