Your Lucky Day

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.

Short review: I've seen this before where if a film was able to clock out at around the 60-70 minute mark it would be perfect, but the expectation/demand to reach 90 minutes kills it. 'Your Lucky Day' is a fine enough film, but it doesn't quite have enough in the chamber to stretch the concept out to 90 minutes.

The film has a nice simple premise and a single-setting location that works well. The characters are all pretty bleak people, but they're entertaining enough for the most part. Everything is solid, but nothing is spectacular - and for that reason I fear this film won't be overly memorable for me. 6.5/10.

Went into it with low expectations but was pleasantly entertained!

They built up the characters quite well and although there were limited cast, they carried the film with their acting.

The desperation of the characters meant you could not really guess where the story would go and kept you wanting to find out what happens and even rooting for certain characters.

In some films, you can get frustrated at the common sense of the characters but they acted a lot out of instincts and survival so made you agree with their decisions (sometimes!)

Apart from some parts, makes you wonder what you would do in the situation.

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.

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.
