Genre: Thriller, crime
Your Lucky Day shines as an intriguing thriller with an outstanding leading performance from Angus Cloud in one of his final roles.
After a dispute over a winning lottery ticket turns into a deadly hostage situation, the witnesses must decide exactly how far they are willing to go and how much blood they’re willing to spill for a cut of the $156m winnings.
The film has a simple premise and is enjoyable to watch.
There are multiple plot twists carefully placed throughout the film that advance the storyline well.
Cloud stars as Sterling, the drug dealer who seizes the opportunity to cash in after a busted drug deal.
The movie has a very small cast, an important factor that allows all the individual actors, particularly Cloud, to shine in their roles.
Jessica Garza is brilliant in her role as Ana Marlene, one of the pregnant hostages who uses her quick thinking and smart moves to outsmart the assailants as they try to kill her to get the ticket.
The movie also does a good job of sharing important, and subtle social commentary regarding how the rich thrive in society and can get away with anything due to their wealth.
Meanwhile the poor suffer and work hard every day for little to no reward.
The hostages also share some good justifications for their crime.
The unique storyline ensures that every step of the film is unpredictable, leading up to a very satisfying ending.
This is an interesting movie that will leave the viewer thinking about the age-old question: “What would you do if you won the lottery?”
Your Lucky Day is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
