So I had no plans of seeing this movie except that I happened to be attending a festival at Village East Cinemas and saw that "lucky" was playing with a Q/A and my boyfriend wanted to watch it. The movie is Good. Not Great but solid. The actors did a good job and the story, although familiar, (I'm an immigrant) had an interesting spin on it. It was unapologetic and I appreciated that. This is a real independent film and you can tell the budget must have been tight, which was acknowledged in the Q/A so that much more respect to the filmmakers for pulling it off. After hearing everything they had to do to get this made, you appreciate it that much more. Kudos to the team. The music was great too.

Writer-director Bari Kang's Lucky is a well made film with a talented cast. I grew up in the New York/New jersey area, and watching this movie depicted a taste of realness of undocumented life, as well as life for any immigrant caught up in the fight to make a living to support loved ones. If you want to experience drama and action along with an interesting story line, I highly recommend this movie.

With a villain who is truly intense and unrelenting (Mr. Diaz) and a leading man who is sympathetic and very appealing (Mr. King) this film grips the viewer and keeps you involved. Add in a mix of interesting, well played supporting characters and you've got yourself a very entertaining and exciting movie. There's a level of realism here that added to the impact since I felt I was watching a real person facing extreme challenges in the real world. Full of some beautiful shots and great music, I highly recommend this film. And ladies - you're going to love just watching Mr. King - who is truly a beautiful leading man.

It's refreshing to watch an original movie with new talent and twists to keep the audience engaged. The casting was done very well and the chemistry between the actors was seamless. The dark humor was unlike anything I've seen and gave way to see dimensions to the characters. We are looking forward to seeing a sequel or two of Lucky.
