Croupier

Director Mike Hodges sticks a knife into London's gambling underbelly and lets it rip in this smart, sexy crime thriller. Would-be writer Jack Manfred (Clive Owen) lands a job as a croupier so he can stand behind the dealer's table and watch the passing parade of human desperation. But is he a voyeur or a pawn? Hodges creates a murky world that keeps you guessing until the end.
