To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There are quite a few movies out there who emulate the same kind of formula. So behind the betrayals and double stabbings or plot twists, there is a shallow shell waiting to be opened. But as it is with those things, nothing good waits inside of it. Actually it's almost better not to watch at all.That's not to say this does not have its fair share of moments (the relationship between two bouncers/hit men is pretty neat and probably the best thing) or the fact that the actors are really trying and almost succeeding in conveying their emotions. But in the end you just won't care for anyone or anything that is coming at you ... literally.

I urge you not to waste your valuable time or money on this tripe. None of the characters made any sense - they were neither funny nor frightening. The storyline was laughable and also made no sense whatsoever! I can only imagine the reviews that say they liked it here were friends or relatives of those that made the film. I would give this zero stars but IMDb doesn't allow for it. The music was rubbish, the action so badly filmed, the attempts at comedy creaked so loudly I could hardly hear the rest of the dialogue over it. In fact, I'm not really sure why I'm wasting time writing this when I've already wasted 90 minutes watching the film. Sad, sad, sad, bad, bad, bad.

I was expecting an original, clever story, with some thrilling action and a emotional payoff in the end. It didn't really excel in any of those regions.Originality - The story featured multiple clichés and a mishmash of ideas from other similar films. eg duo gangster humor from guy snatch/lock stockStory Cleverness - The multiple plots make this film feel more complicated, rather than clever.Action - Although being quite generic, this is the part of the film that makes it watchable for me. Without it it would be quite boring.Emotional Payoff - Eh. More like bunch of events connected together. The main characters drive(pun intended) was to what exactly?The was some shameless exposition. Stupid and annoying bad guy that is invincible. ALL in ALL: Fairly predictable story(with some entertaining bits). Pretty much the standard for movies. ;)

When i write the words 'British heist thriller' i can almost hear the collective groan reverberate and the words 'not another one! It's a genre that's been in and out of our cinemas more regularly than the popcorn delivery man. But new movie Get Lucky definitely does the genre justice with it's interesting plot, fabulous action, exhilarating car chases and a boat chase thrown in for good measure! Throw in some glamour, romance, comedy and stunning and iconic London locations and you have the makings of a thoroughly good watch. The film is centred around two brothers, Lucky and Raphael, who earn a living less honest than most. When kid brother Lucky becomes involved in a robbery, a casino heist planned by Raphael, becomes the means for Lucky to pay the stolen money back to thugs Sebastian and Kramer, who work for local crime lord Mr Zigic. But all is not as it seems and the twists and turns begin. The film is directed by Sacha Bennet (Bonded By Blood, Outside Bet) and stars Olivier award winner Luke Treadaway as main protagonist, Lucky. TJ Ramini (The Bill, NCIS, 24) plays the role of Raphael and also makes his debut as the films screenplay writer. They are joined by a fantastic cast comprising of Terry Stone, Craig Fairbrass, Marek Oravec, Jason Maza and Richie Campbell. Glamour, romance and more is provided by Emily Attack of The Inbetweeners fame. What i love about the film is its fast pace. From the outset the audience is thrust into the action. Some may argue that this gives no time for the characters to develop, but i think that this works in the films favour as it keeps the viewer engaged at all times, moving quickly from one scene to the next. If you want a three hour epic watch The Godfather!The comedy in the film is also one of its strengths, with Terry Stone (Kramer) and Marek Oravec (Niko) stealing some of the best lines.The jokes aren't cheesy and are delivered well by the actors, who seemed to have a real on-screen chemistry amongst them. Being a self confessed action girl myself i found the action sequences, gun fights and car chases exciting.The violence (an obvious part of the movie!) isn't overpowering. Far too many filmmakers depict unnecessary amounts of violence and gore to grab the audiences attention with shock factor, but Get Lucky finds the right balance. Could have been a bit more swearing in my opinion though!One of my favourite parts was the actual casino robbery. The decision to go 'old school' by Raphael with the tommy guns, trilby hats and scarves over the faces was genius. It gave the film an adult Bugsy Malone feel which immediately took me on a nostalgic journey back to my childhood. No cream in these guns however! Add to all of the above a great soundtrack and you have a great mix for a fine movie. If you're looking for a fast paced, fun, action packed film then Get Lucky is definitely for you.
