Stroke of Luck

The movie definitely is not one to see. It wouldn't be a B grade movie, it should be a D grade one. The plot wasn't too bad but the choice of actors and the script were definitely not well thought out. I wanted to stop it before 3 minutes, but thought that it may improve, but I was wrong. One of the 'bad guys' wearing heaps of rings one one hand and a baby's dummy on his other which he sucks, utterly stupid idea. The lead character gets punched but doesn't wash it off for several scenes. Early in the movie he starts shoveling hay into a baler and throws the fork into it after several shovels, total moron.

Maybe it was a mistake to set high expectations with all the award nominations (presumably) on the cover; maybe this movie seemed like a good idea from the pitch meeting, and maybe the investor didn't bother to read the script; and maybe with good actors it could have worked. As it stands, I'm giving it an extra point (from 1) for the benefit of doubt since I'm not going to finish this one.

The story line was ok. While some of the scenes seem natural, others were very ridiculous and unbelievable that a situation like this or that would never happen. The opening scene starts off kinda bizarre then jumped to something somewhat understandable. Although the spoken script needs.some tweaking to feel more like a natural conversation. The horse talking thing...what can I say "Head Scratchier". Constructive criticism to the filmmaker on this matter: It was completely useless to add the horse talking thing at all that only he could hear, becuase it went absolutely nowhere..He didnt think he was going crazy or just freaked out...Was just weird and unnessasary.

I do feel this filmmaker has a 7star movie in him but unfortunately it will only come with experience.

Held my attention all the way through, the actor playing Nathan was very convincing and had great chemistry with his costar Sarah. Would watch w again.
