I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Synopsis
His young, womanising, street-smart brother Davey (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), to whom he's devoted, is a dashing, minor criminal. After scoring a deal and partying late into the night, he's followed home and attacked.
Sensing something is amiss, Will is pulled back to the city. Shocked and distraught, Will's antennae are re-tuned to the rush of London as he begins to investigate the disturbing event.
He seeks the counsel of his former gang-mates, ignites the jealousy of crime boss Turner (Ken Stott), visits the distressed Mrs Bartz (Sylvia Syms), tracks the mysterious Boad (Malcolm McDowell) and rekindles his relationship with Helen (Charlotte Rampling), the wise, romantic restauranteur.

Croupier
Director: Mike Hodges
Year: 1998
An ingenious and unpredictable story of the wheel of chance, of good luck against bad, of fate against coincidence, of plot against destiny. It is told from the inside, through the life and feelings of an anonymous croupier. In our age of uncertainty, it is about the deep need for security set against the temptations of risk. The story is an original take on the universal obsession with gambling. Constructed like a night spent in a casino, winning one minute, losing the next, Croupier is paced like a thriller. Each twist of the story exposes the eternally divided personalities of men. And women.
