Get Lucky (2013) Reviews

• I now truly understand the meaning of "DISAPPOINTMENT"

  daguvnor-12013-08-07

  90 Minutes of my life I'll forever be trying to claw back. Badly acted, badly cut and edited The so called "fight scenes" & "special effects" would have been more at home on a SYFY Channel production. The whole thing looked as though it had been made by kids working on a school film project. After reading a review and recognising quite a few of the actors in the movie I was looking forward to watching another good BRIT GANGSTER movie as I am a big fan of the genre, but I have to say that had this been the first film of this type I had ever watched, then I would definitely NEVER have watched another. This is absolutely the worst film I have seen all year.

• very different but very good

  Brothers Lucky and Raphael have always lived on the wrong side of the law. When a 'job' goes very wrong and Lucky finds himself in debt to local heavies, Sebastian and Kramer, he is forced to join his wayward brother on the biggest heist of their careers. While Raphael concocts a plan to rob the casino of the most powerful crime-lord in town, Mr Zigic, and enlists the help of Zigic's own unwitting nephew Niko and employee Eli, Lucky is distracted by the girl of his dreams, femme fatale Bridgett, who may not be all that she seems. With betrayals and twists of fate, it seems everyone has an ulterior motive. The question is who, can the brothers trust on the most important night of their lives? Very impressed with the acting. A good twist to the story at the end as well. Afer reading this i thought i would have a look. Very good acting and not too Hollywood. Look forward to getting this on DVD, worth another look.

• Undecipherable English ......

  cekadah2015-03-29

  ...... In an indecipherable story! When this movie started with a 'joke' opening I should have taken the hint and given up on it right away. But no, I decided to stick with it and after twenty or thirty minutes into the story I was lost on it's plot as I just couldn't understand what they were saying. Maybe I could understand every third or fourth word at best. I know the actors are speaking English but the movie needs subtitles for the rest of the English speaking world. The British may be able to understand this low-end speaking but I could not. There was recently a television show here in the US titled "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo" and English subtitles were used because the family in this 'reality' show were so low on the education scale the producers realized the viewing public outside of Georgia would need it. So get lucky and find a Brit to see this flick with you and you might be able to make sense of it.

• Don't bother

  Think about all the worst things to do when making a film and this does them all. Bad everything. Acting, directing, writing, plot, casting, editing, photography, the list is endless. Just astonishes me why people still make or are interested in watching cliché British gangster films. That ship sailed long long ago. And who would be stupid enough to put up the money to make this drivel? Please can we move on, and invest in good plausible stories. Doesn't have to be Jane Austen or a romantic comedy. Or cost an absolute fortune to make. They can be thrillers, crime stories, violent, whatever. Just as long as they are well made with a decent script. This film should be shown to aspiring film students as an example of how to get it totally wrong.

• Proper English Action flick

  tom-810-1500812013-08-25

  Without any expectations I started 'Get Lucky', and from the first moment on I got that this is a low-budget action movie. No known actors, some poor camera work and acting is at a sub- standard. Look through the flaws, however, and you'll find a movie that is a somewhat entertaining Brit Flick. The storyline has got some surprising elements, the gangster characters are believable and there is some humor. It's all delivered in a cheesy package, with poor special, I mean, normal effects. But most of all, the movie never reaches a high point, and that's disappointing. By no means is this a good movie. I really get the feeling they tried, but failed, to get enough out of it.
