Our take
With a stylish cynicism reminiscent of his classic Get Carter, Mike Hodges revives the seedy glamor of London’s gambling underworld in this twisty crime tale starring a deliciously sardonic Clive Owen. Like the askew reflections found in the casinos’ walls of mirrors, no one is ever what they seem.
