Negative Positive
Title: Way behind it's time
Review: I like William Macy and Alec Baldwin, and the movie begins with some mystery. But any early promise is soon whacked into left field by the B-movie scenario, in which the obvious holds firm sway.. We are supposed to believe that an ageing Las Vegas hack (The Cooler) with a very bad and greasy toupe falls into a meaningful relationship with a sexy (heart of gold, natch)hooker at his casino.Of course, true love comes with his first real sexual experience in years; and hack and hooker become someone we pin our hopes on, depite the bad dialogue, and the sub-plot of a lost son belonging to the hack, who gives us a chance to dive more deeply into the swampy mire that is this movie. Worst of all, it has a happy ending! Take my word--this mess is predictable and soupy. Give it a pass.
