Lucky Day (I) (2019)
6/10
Better Than Average

I would have rated it higher than 6, but last third of film, including conclusion, was very weak.

Funny thing is, in end credits, guy who got throat car slashed by Luc when he was stealing his car is called "Gavin McAnus", and it was such an obvious parody of Gavin McInnes. I guess it is missable if you do not know who Gavin is or that leftist media keeps calling him "Gavin McAnus". Would really like to know why add Gavin in movie just to make fun of him, I guess its personal.

Most likeable character in whole thing is actually the villain, Luc. Even tho he does some pretty horrible things, it is done with dark humor.

Rest of the movie sadly just drags on, too slowly, and towards end even Luc cannot carry it any more. It felt like they just wanted to wrap it up.

If it were not for few hilarious scenes which will stay with me a while, film would be maybe 3/10. Luc character by himself adds 3 points for first half of the film. And everyone should see it just for that.

Really this film could have been a LOT better with tighter script. For example virtually all scenes involving child could have been removed as they added nothing to the movie. Parole Officer role was really under developed. There were few poor attempts at Tarantino styled banter, but those fell flat. Mark Dacascos was just wasted, no idea why add him for cameo role like that. And ending was just terribly bad, not funny, poor attempt at tear jerk moment which had no effect on me whatsoever.

I would however watch a movie with just Luc being Luc.
