Your Lucky Day

For some reason I had little hope for this one, but once I started I just had to watch the whole thing.

There no need for a big budget when you know when you are doing and you write up a good script.

No fillers, no fluff, no vacuous metaphors, ... Enought for you to understand the characters and to make you care about them.

Yeah, it leans on some stereotypes. And that's ok. That's what stereotypes exist for.

The action is also well done as well, by the way. Nothing flashy, just effective stuff that they let you clearly see.

Perfectly well done and perfectly enjoyable.

They could have used more money to get more famous actors and more flashy unrealistic action... but to be honest it doesn't it it; I'd say that it'd even make it more showbusiness-y and less storytelling-y.

Congrats to the team. Well done you.

After looking for so long to n the past several years to find a movie without a pretentious script, more dedicated to a bias message or just bad writing I was delighted to see this pop up. Yes it involved cops being bad but at least it had some logic to it. With neither characters being utterly good or bad, they are just human. This movie felt like they were following a story and a vision instead of an agenda, as that seems to be the norm nowadays. And to me it's always impressive if you can film a whole movie in the same location and keep the story entertaining and believable. There were some plot holes but nothing that bothered me at all and that is exactly what is so hard to find. Congratulations to the writers and producers for not giving in to the mainstream.

The story had potential, but it went from unlikely to implausible. The actors were good and I was interested in most of the characters, except the guy that actually won the lottery who was a cliche snob with a tie. A lot of the dialogue was poorly written. It didn't help that there was a lot of it. Then the story descended into a morass that got less and less interesting as it got less and less likely.

I don't recommend this at all. I still gave it a couple of stars for the idea and for some of the acting. I also thought the director and cinematographer did a decent job with what was obviously a low budget.

Your Lucky Day was a crazy good experience. Certainly not what I was expecting watching the trailer or reading the plot description. Angus Cloud does a really good job in here with one of his last roles before his untimely passing. The acting is stellar from the remaining cast and keeps everything grounded. The movie begs the question what would you do in this situation? Would you do what is right or turn to greed? The film starts off with a lot of intensity and quickly escalates as the film goes on. You have to give this movie a watch to see how everything unfolds! Trust me you will be surprised! Your Lucky Day gets a very good 8 stars out of 10.

Your Lucky Day isn't a high budget movie. It shows in the image quality so I would say the cinematography could be better. But other than that it's an entertaining thriller with constant action so you have not time to get bored. Angus Cloud just died of a drug overdose at the young age of 25 so this was one of his last jobs. Too bad he couldn't handle life as he had talent. The rest of the cast were also convincing. Maybe the story was a bit far fetched to some but then again when we're talking about a jackpot of 156 millions people might get the wrong ideas so not that far fetched in the end. Watchable low budget thriller/crime.
