Your Lucky Day

Honestly I didn't expect much when I started watching but it was good enough to keep watching and wanted to know how it ends. Ending was a bit disappointing and needs some more work, shouldn't be predictable. I can see it's a low budget film but well made as a thriller/action movie. Money can change people's mind instantly, a pregnant girl turned into pretty violent, that a surprise. Also found out a main character played as a drug dealer died of overdose, this movie was one of his last films. He played very well in it. What a shame that he died so young. He could have a great career ahead. I think it has a good plot and entertaining.

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.

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.

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.
