"A sharp and dryly urbane mod-Brit take on the noir, noir, noir, noir world of gambling, dames and pulp fiction. Owen is superb." - Entertainment Weekly

Set in noir-style London, writer Jack Manfred (Clive Owen, BENT) returns to his old job as a casino croupier and finds himself involved in a gamble involving three women and a scheme to defraud the casino.

Jack's girlfriend store detective Marion (Gina McKee, NOTTING HILL) wants him to go back to his writing, casino dealer Bella has an amorous eye for Jack while reckless South African casino client Jani tries to seduce Jack into a dangerous caper.

James-Bond-handsome Jack thinks he can remain detached, control the situation by playing the odds and come through it all with the makings of a novel.

Directed by Mike Hodges (GET CARTER), CROUPIER has enjoyed surprising success in its international release.

"An utterly cool British import." - USA Today
