The Lucky Man

One of the worst films I have ever seen. The actors can't act, the script must have been the idea of a teenager high on coke who have never written anything before but have seen a few films with a similar plot. There were visual effects that reminded me of some of the Indian serials which I would consider to be worse than porn artistically speaking. Such a waste of time and energy.

Started out well with a well worn but underused idea but it became confused and didnt really know what it wanted to be.

Acting was patchy and it had a really promising idea but it was all just too muddled as though it was being written by 3 different people who hadnt read the previous persons script.

The end felt contrived and done a 100 times before and it was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. Worth a rainy Sunday afternoon if you have seen all the Columbo repeats and there isnt anything else on but it isnt what it wants to be!

THE GOOD - This is so stylishly-filmed it's unbelievable. The wild camera techniques - quick flashes, sudden changes from color to devil red, distorted sound bytes, shakey camera shots, wild colors and symbolic images, distorted sound bytes - are all fascinating to watch. Then there's the crazy story, which ranges from really good to really bad The two leads, "Rev Jones and Rebecca" are kinda co-dependent on one another. He likes his drugs, and she likes her style and shopping habits. He struggles keeping the cash flow going for his drug addiction and her Gucci purses, and some damn boots she mentions a thousand times. THE BAD NEWS - The drug use in this movie is OVER THE TOP. WOW. The actor who plays Rev. Jones either did a lot of cocaine or endured the pain of snorting a lot of baking soda. Painful to watch sometimes. You can just see it in his face. Then there is the performance of Rebecca, she struggled to nail the character. The Preacher carried the movie.

Can there be any justification whatsoever for making such a movie ?!?!?!?

This was not good. Bad script. Lousy acting and a meaningless story. Depressing movie.
