In 1998, Mike Hodges, director of the iconic Get Carter, returned to the genre that made his name with Croupier, an unforgettable thriller that put leading man Clive Owen firmly on the map and established itself as a classic of British crime cinema.

Jack Manfred (Clive Owen) is an aspiring writer going nowhere fast. Taking a job as a casino croupier just to make ends meet, he finds himself seduced by the high stakes world of luck and chance. As the job takes over his life and his relationship to girlfriend Marion (Gina McKee) begins to crumble, Jack's attention is caught by down-on-her-luck gambler Jani (Alex Kingston). Under pressure from her creditors, she asks Jack to be the inside man for a planned heist at the casino. It all sounds so easy. But even a pro can't predict which cards will be dealt.

With a screenplay by Paul Mayersberg (The Man Who Fell to Earth, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence) Hodges' first theatrical feature in almost a decade proved that he'd lost none of his edge. Coolly confident, mercilessly gripping and tautly directed, Croupier arrives on Arrow Video, restored from the original 35mm camera negative with a wealth of special features.

Underrated, unknown and Damn Amazing!

Saw that film some time ago randomly on some Large Corp. Streamer. Because I was looking for something from the 90s. This film caught me off guard, I was shocked and surprised by how good it is. So when I saw it on Arrow, and a 4K??? I had to impulse buy this film! It now is one of my fav films of all time. The atmosphere, acting, story, music, visual language used and so on. The extras are cool, the Sound & Picture Quality are top notch, and the film is timeless. Apparently Clive Owen was considered for Bond, because of this film, which he declined for reasons. I can see why, it has certain elements which could fit Bond, but its not a Spy story in the classic sense. A dude working at a casino, looking for inspiration for his next book, while become more and more detached, cold and calculated. Imagine a sort of American Psycho, without humor, without Male critique, and more the focus on a sort of Psychopath, who detaches himself because probably there is some other trauma laying deep. Whatever, won't say more, watch this!
