The Cooler’s predictability is quite fitting. It’s a film about luck – about fate – a contemporary mysticism that allows Lootz to cool the casino with his bad luck and also says he’s destined to have that luck reversed upon meeting soul mate Natalie. And bad guy Shelly’s fall was sealed the day he ascended.
A enjoyable 7 out of 10.
