(2003)
The language isn't Mametesque, but everything else about this sad-sack loser's story is, including said sad-sack loser and his antagonist being played by
Mamet regulars
Bill Macy and
Alec Baldwin. One of those stories that begins with an implausible premise--Macy's Bernie Lootz is a genuine bad-luck charm, whose touch can kill a gambler's hot streak, and that makes him a valuable property to Baldwin's casino boss Shelly Kaplow--and once you buy into that, everything else makes sense.
