I rarely rate movies 10/10, and I could expound upon this movie for hours, but I'm going to keep it short and sweet. This movie looks at the principle of choice and its effect on the human condition and in particular, a specific human life. This is one of those movies which is better suited to just pressing play and being astounded by the journey (as opposed to researching, watching trailers, etc.). The acting, cinematography, writing, directing, and story/writing here are absolutely excellent - this is a movie which will stick with you for a long time - and if it doesn't, you probably weren't paying attention. This is a gem and I highly recommend you watch it - or re-watch it - NOW.

This film is the type of film I show people who are interested in writing, because this is the type of cliché-breaking, convention shattering movie which comes along only once or twice every twenty years. It also happens to a great example of how to write a film, and do it differently while remaining amazingly awesome - and keeping broadly appeal.

This movie is massively under-stated. Everything about it is subtle, but it you are a fan of witty dialogue and amazing wordplay/banter in a very well made movie with a largely unique plot, look no further.

Everyone involved does wonderfully, but again this movie works so well because of its writing.

Don't believe me? Re-watch it and try to ignore the amazing writing. I dare you.

Luck was an epic show. In only 9 episodes, it weaved together numerous, insanely complex story lines which many people probably had trouble following. But what started as a 'too dense for anything but pretense' project soon turned into an amazingly broad show whose characters included mafia, rounders, trainers, jockeys, agents, horse owners, and many others - to create an incredibly smart show which, in my opinion, sought to expose the world of horse racing to the many who are uninformed, or simply would not normally care. The characters and writing were top notch, and this definitely should have been allowed more time to flesh out.

Hopefully another network won't be as scared of PETA and will pick it up.
