The Cooler (2003)

Cast: William H. Macy (Bernie Lootz), Alec Baldwin (Shelly Kaplow), Maria Bello (Natalie Belisario), Shawn Hatosy (Mikey)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Cooler page.

This movie about an unlucky man (Bernie Lootz) repaying a debt by capitalizing on his lack of luck at an classic Las Vegas casino run by Shelly Kaplow is very interesting. Seeing Bernie deal with the idea of not always being a jinx and the potential of happinness in his own life kept me interested throughout the movie. The cast is amazing and the story is well told.

The Cooler combines drama, romance, comedy, and life in Las Vegas casinos very well. I definitely recommend renting or Tivoing The Cooler if you didn't get around to seeing it in a theatre.

Grade: B
