Mike Hodges was born in
Bristol in 1932 and directed his best known film, Get Carter (with
Michael Caine) in 1971.
A struggling author (Clive Owen) uses his father's connections to get a job running a roulette wheel at a casino. Soon he meets a woman (Alex Kingston) who seduces him and then encourages him to join her associates in a robbery scheme. Reviews "For once here is a British film that is both tough and intelligent, and so well-researched that it will probably tell you more about how casinos work than had it been a documentary." |
