| The Cooler - 2003 | |
 | When the Born Loser falls in love, what happens to the lifetime of bad luck that's been the one consistent thing in his life? It changes to good luck and the only thing he's able to count on is the chaos that ensues ... Macy is Bernie Lootz, whose mere presence is such a buzzkill that he's paid to be a casino "cooler," a man who sidles up and puts a kibosh on any hot streak. Then he falls into a sweet relationship with waitress Natalie (Bello), and all of a sudden, his dead plants are perking up, his missing cat reappears and Bernie's good luck seems to be contagious for everyone in the casino. Tough guy casino boss Shelly (Oscar nominee Baldwin), of course, is displeased with his cooler's new lady luck. And a messy situation with Bernie's scamming son re-ups Bernie's almost paid gambling debt to the mobster, halting Bernie's plans to flee Vegas with Natalie ... until, in a delicious bit of irony, Bernie and Natalie are saved by a huge case of someone else's bad luck. The jackpot scene: Shelly's bathroom scene with an Ivy League business whiz (Ron Livingston), who's been sent to nudge old school Shelly out of the operation. It's a vicious, but satisfying confrontation that seals both Shelly's doom and Bernie's hopeful future. |
| Stickmen - 2001 | |
 | Jack, Thomas and Wayne are the Stickmen. They like nothing more than to have a beer in one hand, a pool cue in the other, a coin on the table and their mates around them. They play pub pool for fun and money at Dave's bar. Desperate to get out of debt, Dave gets the Stickmen entered into a high stakes pool tournament run by vicious crime boss "Daddy". He also gets them into a whole rack of trouble. Can the Stickmen beat the odds, pocket the money, win the girls and save Dave? You rack 'em, they crack 'em. And never take your eye off the ball. |
| Luck of the Draw - 2001 | |
 | An all-star cast of edgy men anchors LUCK OF THE DRAW, a thrilling crime drama which explores the seedy world of gambling and mobsters. Award-winning actor Dennis Hopper (APOCALYPSE NOW, EASY RIDER) is a mob boss who is determined to find the ex cons responsible for stealing counterfeit money. Though one of these former criminals, Jack Sweeney (James Marshall of TV's TWIN PEAKS,) is attempting to go straight, his unshakeable lust for money and excitement leaves him wrapped up in a web of crime and violence. Eric Roberts, Michael Madsen, Ice-T, and William Forsyth all turn in strong supporting performances. |
