Lucky Day

My wife and I started this movie today merely by chance. We came across it on prime and decided to give it a try. Admittedly, I was on the fence about it right from the gate. It looked so so based on the trailer, but once I started the movie started it was fairly slow.

It kind of feels like the story could get better as it continues but halfway through the film my wife got bored and decided to go do some stretching instead. Seeing as though I didn’t care whether or not I started the film I just stop watching.

So you got this dude who just got out of prison for breaking into locks and stealing money. You have another crazy guy who’s going around killing everyone with no rhyme or reason. And I suppose that at some point their paths would cross and it would be mayhem. But I never got to that part.

I can tell you that this film is fairly slow and it doesn’t create any vested interest in the characters. The most interesting person up to that point was the jerky parole officer who was a crazy Latino and he made me giggle with his crazy antics. The crap he pulled would never fly in the real world.

Based on the standards that I use when recommending a film then I cannot recommend this one. I couldn’t even finish it as I was so bored. I may go back and finish someday but I don’t particularly care to do so.

Though do I spend a lot more time at home these days, there are so many other movies, books and tv series that I could be watching which I’d probably enjoy more.

Based on the trailer this film had kind of like a “pulp fiction” vibe. Yet, I was met with disappointment and as I mentioned before I didn’t care whether or not I finished it. You can give it a shot, but I really don’t care enough to invest any more time in it.
