91 minute running time but felt longer because it was so dumb … stars a young Clive Owen and his cleft chin … frustrated novelist by day, casino worker (“croupier”) by night … gambling movies are so dull and this one is no exception … story makes no sense … not the least bit thrilling or even interesting … terrible and a total waste of time. Owen is a homosexual icon (though he’s not gay himself), which explains Farr’s gushing (and totally misguided) recommendation of this one. Skip it!
