The Winner [VHS]
Everyone wants a piece of Philip, a good-natured but naive soul (Vincent D'Onofrio) blessed with an uncanny winning streak in the casinos of Las Vegas. A veritable walking jackpot who takes the luck out of gambling, he doesn't go unnoticed. A cool but deadly underworld boss (Delroy Lindo), a sexy showgirl with a hefty debt (Rebecca DeMornay), a trio of hustling low-lifes (led by Frank Whaley) and Philip's ex-con brother (Michael Madsen) all have their greedy eyes of "the winner" and they'll do whatever it takes for a piece of the action in this stylish, darkly offbeat action-thriller. Directed by Alex Cox.
