My favorite thing about Croupier is the sound of the different games: the chips stacked on the tables, the rattling of the marble ball spinning in the roulette wheel; the clip of the cards dealt in front of players.

Not a great movie...kind of just hanging out, smoking a cigarette, flirting, cooking dinner, shaking.

Script and direction play safe throughout.

Croupier is fascinating, mercilessly compact, adamant.

Coolly hypnotic, the lean British sleeper Croupier is a reminder that movies don't have to wave their arms and scream to hold our attention.

But it's Clive Owen, who was so fine as the homosexual imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp in "Bent," who steals the show. If you need an actor who emotes thunderstorms while his flesh is as still as a spring day, look no further.

For refusing to lie down and let his film die and for returning some much needed cred to British cinema, Hodges deserves another roll of the dice.

...a model of what might be accomplished by a capable director working on a small budget - namely one of the best films of the year.
