“…features strong performances and flows with the grace and assurance of a Sinatra song.”—Houston Chronicle
William H. Macy is sensational as Bernie Lootz, a perennial loser with contagious bad luck, in this moving but hard-edged indie drama. Paid to kill the winning streaks of high rollers, Bernie makes a decent living at a casino. But his life and his luck change when he falls for a down-trodden pretty waitress (Maria Bello). The uniformly-solid cast includes Alec Baldwin in an Oscar-nominated turn as a slick but sentimental casino boss.
