A NOIRIST thriller about intrigues in the twilight world of gambling casinos. Critics promise it will hold your attention.

An atmospheric character study is dominated by Sydney, a veteran gambler, alias Philip Baker Hall, who takes a rookie under his wing and teaches him the tricks of the trade.

The hapless John C Reilly has just been cleaned out at Vegas and can’t pay for his mother’s funeral.

Serious trouble brews some years down the line when the younger man falls for a feckless cocktail waitress in a Reno casino.

The glamorous Clementine, alias Gwyneth Paltrow, is involved with various bad hats and is a part-time call girl. A violent climax erupts when Clementine takes one of her clients hostage.

In 1996, Paul Thomas Anderson made an assured debut as a mainstream director.

A year later he directed the acclaimed box office hit Boogie Nights.

Radio Times said: “A minimally plotted mood piece featuring a magnetic central performance from Philip Baker Hall.

“A cool, sharply observed thriller that knows its own strengths and makes the most of them.”
