Review of The Winner

The Winner (1996)
5/10
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
9 May 2024
Vincent D'Onofrio starts an incredible lucky streak in Vegas. He worries about when it will end. Everyone else worries about how they can get their hands on his money, particularly lounge singer Rebecca De Mornay.

It's a pretty good movie about the superstitions of the hardcore gambler. As you might expect, the leads give fine performances, as do supporting players like Delroy Lindo, Michael Madsen, and Billy Bob Thornton. The ending is a bit over-the-top for my tastes, but I'm sure it pleases others -- except for director Alex Cox, who disclaimed the movie after it was edited without his consent.
