Title: Another reason why Kramer's a very good director
Review: After I finished watching Running Scared (2006), I was shocked at the quantity of mind at display. I absolutely loved that film. Then, I decided to watch another film by the director. The Cooler is a lot different, it has a smaller star cast, lesser number of characters, lesser aspirations but it still manages to earn respect. The concept of a Cooler is very interesting, you see. I love films based on Casino. The Cooler is unpredictable, uplifting and brief in it's own self congratulating way. William Macy gives a performance you tend to expect of him. The humor is often dry and sarcastic which helps push the storyline along. I think it could have been around 10 minutes shorter and it would've done better than it did.Watch it now.
