Storyline

- Alternate versionsThe film, originally to be titled A Darker Purpose, was reedited by the producers while director Alex Cox was in Mexico working on another project. The film's original score by Pray For Rain and Zander Schloss, was also replaced. Cox disowned the finished product. In Japan, the distributors Cable Hogue and GAGA released a Director's Cut version which partially resembles the original cut and restores the Pray For Rain/Zander Schloss score. The original soundtrack for the Directors Cut is also available in Japan on Toho Music Co./Cyur Records.

Featured review
Pretentious nonsense ............
"The Winner" could be the "gold standard" example of a movie that cheats the audience. Enticing you in with capable actors, Rebecca DeMornay, Vincent D'Onofrio, Delray Lindo, Michael Madsen, and Billy Bob Thornton, and then giving them an absolutely worthless script to work with. This thing is so scatter shot, so talky, and so ridiculous, that describing a plot would be futile. It also might give the mistaken impression that there is one. The set up of a guy who can't lose at the casino is never explored beyond the initial idea, and there is absolutely no payoff for the long suffering audience. "The Winner" is definitely a loser. - MERK
