    Eliott Friedman has spoken kindly of this movie before.

    The one where I finally get Clive Owen.

    Alex Kingston naked.

    Some pretty decent plot twists.

    Joe Bob would probably say to check it out.

    Croupier is a quality flick.
    I liked Clive Owen back when he was the "Driver" in those BMW? commercials.
    Still haven't seen Children of Men yet, but I thought Owen was good in Inside Man.

    I saw it when it first came out. It was a fantastic movie. Alex Kingston naked didn't hurt either. ;)

    He was excellent in Closer. Still one of my favorite movies.

    Holy crap, I forgot all about Closer.
    Now that's a movie. Depressing as hell though.
    Excellent use of a Damien Rice song in Closer as well.

    That Damien Rice entire Cd with Blower's Daughter from the movie Closer is wonderful. Highly recommend it.
    Clive Owen should play Jake Gyllenhall's brother or father in a movie...they look so much alike.

    One of the best actors working... I just saw the previews for Shoot Em Up, which looks great...

    I'm not sure Inside Man gets credit for being as outstanding as it was and Owen was the best part about it... He was also robbed of an Oscar for Closer...

    I think Croupier was the first thing I saw him in... Fantastic film...

    I also can attest for Owen. Tremendous stuff, especially in Closer. Outside of Mickey Rourke, the best part of Sin City, too.
