Clive Owen in Croupier (1998) transcends the cliché about a writer writing a movie about a writer looking for ideas about which to write. I’ve spent plenty of time in casinos in my own life, and Owen’s performance strikes a chord. I was also impressed at how realistic the film portrays gamblers, dealers, and the general day-to-day ongoings inside the casino.
Saw Looper last night w. the older kids. One of the best movies I’ve seen in years.
Very well done.
