{netflix} the cooler (2005)

Bernie Lootz (William H. Macy) is the unluckiest man in Las Vegas. Looking to knock out their highest rollers, one of the last mob-run casinos in town uses Bernie as a "cooler" to defuse lucky streaks. The scheme goes along just fine until Bernie falls in love with a cocktail waitress (Maria Bello) who becomes his "lady luck," much to the chagrin of the casino's crooked director (Alec Baldwin).

ifreethought.com rating: * Crap movie. I was really disappointed as, from the description, it sounded like a good idea for a movie, but it wasn't that great. Great actors, good idea for a story, but horrible execution. Just couldn't sit though it.
