About this product

Product Information

This darkly comic crime drama examines the plight of the naive title character, a gambler known only as Philip (Vincent D'Onofrio), whose uncanny penchant for winning bets has earned him the title the luckiest man in the history of North America. A rogues' gallery of parasites swarms around him in the Las Vegas heat, including scheming two-timer Louise, played with gusto by Rebecca De Mornay. THE WINNER is filled with Alex Cox's trademark bleak, visually stylish touches and features standout performances by Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Madsen, and Delroy Lindo.
