Croupier
Croupier (1998), Mike Hodges:
Poor Mike Hodges. Makes one masterpiece in Get Carter and thirty years later people don't even remember that because of some jagoff named Sylvester Stallone.
Let's hope Hodges can get back in the fray. I haven't seen his latest (which seems suspciously similar to Get Carter), but Croupier was a lot of fun. Hodges pulls his best David Lynch impression to make a fuzzy, dream-like journey through the the hidden side of society, but a surprisingly emotionless one.
11/15
