What The Cooler Is About
A man's job at the casino is to lose: he walks up to the tables and breaks the luck of anyone winning, and he has been good at it for years. Then he meets someone and his own luck turns. The film shows the casino not with nostalgia but as an order about to close; the narrative runs the tension between the old-style manager and the new investors as a second line. The idea of luck is used as both comic and threatening. Wayne Kramer directed, with William H. Macy, Maria Bello and Alec Baldwin, who was nominated for an Oscar for the role. A real warning: violence, sex and gambling addiction are dealt with directly, and one scene shows a severe beating.
