From Macy we expect a good performance, he is one of the best character-actors out there. You believe him the entire time, no matter what he does. Baldwin won an Oscar nomination and it is pretty clear why. The performances take the film to the next level. A sub-plot that deals with the idea of remodeling the casino into a more modern one, not if it is up to Shelly, gives him a reason to be annoyed and show his more cruel side. The story is pretty original and entertaining on itself. This will give, unfortunately for Shelly and therefore himself as well, results on the casino floor. She seems to like him also and suddenly that means Bernie is lucky. Soon Bernie will leave, but not before he has met and fallen in love with Natalie, played by Maria Bello (for me only known from 'Payback' and 'Coyote Ugly'), a third terrific performance. The casino boss is Shelly in a wonderful performance from Alec Baldwin. The cooler here is Bernie and the face of William H. It is someone who has such a bad luck that people around him are influenced he could be pretty important for casino bosses. A "cooler" is a guy who stands next to you in a casino when you are having a winning streak that is suddenly interrupted.
