Plot: Bernie works in an oldskool Vegas casino. He is a cooler, a guy with notoriously bad luck who joins tables to reverse the winning streak of the more fortunate. His life changes when he meets Natalie, a waitress who takes an interest in him. It's a sign for Bernie that it's time to leave his job, but his employer isn't too happy with that decision.

A decent enough casino flick that stands out thanks to Macy's fine performance. He carries the entire film, as the plot and the rest of the cast aren't that special. The plot has a few fantastical touches, but it's not enough to stand out and the crime elements are very much by the number.
Kramer's direction isn't anything special either, if you've seen a few casino-themed films there won't be many surprises here. Still, the relationship between Macy and Bello is nice enough and Baldwin is decent as the film's villain. Not my favorite type of film, but all things considered it wasn't too bad.
