The Cooler.
Saw The Cooler tonight. A film about Vegas's sinister under-belly. Yeah, like we haven't heard that song and dance about a thousand times now. Not the most inventive plot, and a HORRIBLE cameo by Joey Fatone (the fat guy from N-sync) drag this film down a little bit...
BUT William H Macy, Alec Baldwin, and Maria Bello turn in great performances. I have to say, the greatest thing that happened to Alec Baldwin's career was him gaining a little weight. Once he lost his leading man status he had to really flex the acting muscle to keep himself working, and damn, has it paid off. William H Macy was brilliant as always, and Maria Bello has shown herself to be much better than she led us to believe in Coyote Ugly. Over all I give it three out of five. Worth seeing, mostly for Mr Baldwin's sweaty, cursing, pit-boss character.
