Leave your thoughts about Lucky Day.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThe trouble is, apart from Glover’s unforgettably weird contribution, Lucky Day isn’t a particularly memorable offering. It’s enough to get Avary back in the game, one hopes, but considering his talent, this is hardly the film his fans have been waiting for. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerGeneric and too self-indulgent, if energetic and occasionally funny, the film’s greatest attribute is by far co-star Crispin Glover, who steals the show as a deranged French-speaking assassin named Luc Chaltier. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenAs wannabe Tarantino misfires go, at least one can say that Avary, who in addition to sharing story credit on “Pulp Fiction” also contributed (uncredited) to “True Romance,” comes by the affectation more honestly than most. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyIf you’re one of those people who believes the Tarantino of today still needs to “grow up,” this movie will provide an oblique but vivid insight into how much worse things might have been. |
| User ReviewTVJerryAs the trailer proclaims, Roger Avary is best known for writing the “story” of Pulp Fiction. This time he’s writer/director and the Tarantino influence is glaringly obvious. The film starts when a safe cracker (Luke Bracey) gets out of jail and comes home to his wife and daughter. Meanwhile, a deranged assassin (Crispin Glover at his most extreme) leaves a path of quick kills seeking revenge. The dialogue never gets remotely close to Tarantino’s linguistic style, although some of the violent moments do have a gruesome comic element. Almost every scene goes on longer than needed with no reason (certainly not the writing). While there’s a cruel energy to the action, much of the plot and character situations are predictable. |
