Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

LeonLouisRicci This is the Film that is Credited as the One that Put Clive Owens on the Map. Director Mike Hodges had Been on the Map Since 1971 with His Neo-Noir Classic "Get Carter". Hodges Never Quite Attained Anything Beyond Cult Movie Respect, but Owens, On the Other Hand, is Still On the Rise.It's a Smart, British-Neo-Noir This, With Voice-Over, Snappy Cynical Dialog, Icy-Cool Dames and Characters that Operate on the Fringes, Mostly Struggling with Life and Their Place In It. The Film has Atmosphere and Stunning Scenes in the Casino that Mirror and Reflect a Gaudy but Attractive World that is Forever in Reach, but Slippery.The Story is About a Writer/Gambler Who Writes but Doesn't Gamble and the People that Inhabit His Detachment. He Always Seems There but at a Distance, Observing, Making Notes, and Figuring Out the Odds and the Angles.It's a Slick Piece and a Low-Budget, Heady Art-Film with Noir Twists and a Suspense that is Sustaining. The Ending is Where Most Folks Cry Cheat as They Cash In Their Chips to Move On to Another Game of Cinema. But Odds Are as They Do, will Continue to Think About This Bit of British Sleight of Hand.

movie reviews This is movie is OK..... it is a bit dated even for 1998 with a too straight focused--no nuanced sexual world in this thing; and the casino seediness is overdone and obvious read other reviews. So a need to suspend disbelief.If you have an hour or so to kill this really is not bad. There are a couple twists which work.I saw it in 99 about when it came out but didn't remember a thing except that I vaguely disliked it.... Unfortunately, when you use Netflix streaming you learn to lower your standards since the biggest chore is finding something good.RECOMMEND

stephen-scott83 Croupier is an excellent icy-cool noir film. The movie has a David Mamet feel to it. I really enjoyed this movie, but the last 30 minutes left me a bit bewildered. Clive Owen is fantastic as the calm and cool Jack Manfred. A struggling writer, Jack takes up an offer from his seemingly estranged relationship with his bizarre dad to interview at a Casino for a Croupier job. Jack gets the job to the consternation of his girlfriend, Marion, who seems to be bi-polar. The requisite cast of delicious characters at the casino elevates Jack's coolness factor as he narrates in the 3rd person throughout the movie - to great effect. Croupier is a classic character study. The ethics & rules that Jack has placed upon him thru his employer get strained and blurred. The robbery scene was very disjointed and confusing - what happened? The death of Marion left more questions than answers and the revelation that Jack's dad was in fact behind the casino robbery was not developed enough. The movie flows so neatly and clean, I think it could have gone another 10 - 15 minutes with more development of the loose ends.

Michael Margetis Jack: The world breaks everyone, and afterwards many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills - it kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave, impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure it will kill you, too, but there will be no special hurry.Croupier is a refreshing little indie film with a lot to admire in it. The plot is smart for the most part, even if it does drag towards the middle. The acting is all very good, but the stand-out is Clive Owen. 'Croupier' gains it's real power from the subtle yet marvelous performance by Clive Owen as the suave, cool but ultimately unhappy writer turned casino croupier. The plot has nice twists and turns, but really the best thing about this film is Clive Owen. Owen is an actor I recently gained a lot of respect for after seeing him consecutively in such great films as 'Children of Men' and of course 'Closer' for which he received an Academy Award Nomination. 'Croupier' is an interesting little crime caper, that although isn't big, spectacular and extremely exciting, offers first-rate performances, solid writing and decent directing. Grade: B
