8/10. A lot of movies should be seen, but aren't. This is one of them.
Croupier is about a struggling writer who takes up a job at an odd
casino as a croupier, but then (of course) gets in over his head.
It's a very subtle movie. None of the dialogue is unnecessary, music
is rarely used, and it's one of the smartest movies I've seen in a
while. It even had somewhat of a Fight Club feel to it, although this
movie came out first. Not only is this movie entertaining, it brings
a grittier look to the casino world. Highly recommended.
Rated R.
Running time: 94 minutes
