The Cooler

William H Macy, playing Bernie Lootz, is the cooler at the Shangri-la Casino, Las Vegas. Ever indebted to his boss played by Alec Baldwin, Bernie is the man who brings ill-luck to the tables. An important quality for the smooth running of a Casino, but finds himself in the depths of despair at a personal level. Having had enough he decides to leave, when trouble in the form of a co-worker at the Casino and his son appears. Alec Baldwin's quality shines through, while Will Macy delivers a solid performance.
