Review of The Cooler (2003) by Ashley T — 11 Nov 2009
The Cooler is one of those old-fashioned Vegas movies that brings out the darkest the city has to offer, literally. The lighting and production design take cues from the story, featuring three characters each fighting their own set of demons.
Alec Baldwin plays himself, as usual, and is unappealing as ever, storming around menacingly as an outdated casino owner. William H. Macy and Maria Bello more than make up for it however, as the casino's star "cooler," who brings bad luck to players on a hot streak, and as the cocktail waitress he falls in love with, who has a few secrets of her own.
