Excellent English drama about a young novelist and former dealer who returns to the casino to earn some money at the request of his father. While there he uses his location as the stage for his novel. He also gets involved with people planning to rob the casino. A very well played psychological study with good acting and dialogue. One problem with the plot, there’s no sense of why the bad guys don’t shop him to the cops when their plan goes badly. A fine film. Bronwen’s favorite aspect of the film is the dealer’s total refusal to gamble See this one!
