The premise of this swinging Vegas picture is enough to carry it over its narrative rough spots. The unluckiest sap on the planet (William H. Macy) is employed as a "cooler" at a casino; his very presence can chill the hot streak of any patron on a roll. He's valued by the old-school manager of the place, a role given a two-fisted, bourbon-swilling incarnation by Alec Baldwin. Macy means to quit, but then he falls for a waitress (the excellent Maria Bello, from Permanent Midnight)--might his luck be changing? The subplots are pretty much a mess, but the frank sex scenes between Macy and Bello give the movie a truly offbeat feel. The tawdry air of a second-rate casino is also nicely done: This is not the new family-friendly Las Vegas, but a tough place of superstitions, sinister back rooms, and shabby motels. The characters are perfectly at home. --Robert Horton

Rating:  -
The ridiculously contrived 'happy' ending is totally out of character with the noir spirit of the rest of the movie, and the viewer is left to wonder what was the point of the story. Worse, a wonderfully ironic ending was right before the writers' eyes and they missed it. When Alec Baldwin's character comes over and begins watching Macy at the craps table, Macy should continue losing, then walk over to Baldwin and say, "You don't need me anymore. You have a new cooler. More of a loser than I ever ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
A fine showcase for the talents of William H. Macy and Alec Baldwin, as well as an atmospheric look at the non-Disney side of Las Vegas, The Cooler is recommended to anyone who likes relatively quiet and intense dramas.
3/4

Great action, actors and entertaining. Violence at times. Tells it like
it could have been there then.

Maria Bello is 1 of the sexiest & most interesting actresses around. She's not a superstar, but consistently delivers the goods in films not worthy of her talents. Perhaps the only vehicle I've ever seen that did her talents justice is the cult tv series Nowhere Man- where she appeared in an episode as the lead character's love interest. In The Cooler, she portrays Natalie Belisario- a Vegas cocktail waitress at the Shangri-La casino, hired by casino boss Shelly Kaplow (Alec Baldwin) to seduce the casino's ... Read More

Like so many good movies, I never heard of it when it was in theaters and instead read a review somewhere or another. Then, when I was looking for something in the video store to watch I saw it and remembered having read about it. I'll tell you, it was probably a chance to see Maria Bello that also had me interested in it but I'm glad that I chose to watch it. This movie ranks up there with some of my favorites. The story is a good one but even better is the cenamtic effects that they slowly attempt to alter ... Read More
