Plot
Summary: Jack Manfred is an aspiring writer
going nowhere fast. To make ends meet, and against
his better judgement, he takes a job as a croupier.
He finds himself drawn into the casino world and the
job gradually takes over his life; his relationship
with girlfriend Marion begins to deteriorate. One
gambler in particular catches his attention: Jani,
whom he starts to see outside of working hours - a
serious violation of casino rules. Jani is down on
her luck; under pressure from her creditors she approaches
Jack, asking him to be the inside man for a planned
heist at the casino. Jack carefully considers the
odds; it all looks so simple, but even a professional
like Jack can't predict the cards he will be dealt.
Comments:
Say what you will about CROUPIER, but this film knows
its world. Every detail - from the seedy background
characters of the casino to slick hands of the dealer
- come to life seemingly without effort. A
tight, minimal script - the film could almost be a
stage play - highlighted by strong perfomances makes
CROUPIER a minimalist treat.
