7/10
Hard Luck was more than just run of the mill.

There have been a lot of films in the narrative format in the past and this was a good addition to a long line including Pulp fiction and Sin City to name a couple. I have not seen anything else by Mario Van Peebles only the films he has taken part in as an Actor. I was impressed on the whole. All I could think of with van peebles was the fact that he doesn't appear to have aged in the twenty or so years it has been between the first and the last time i saw him on screen. Wesley Snipes was what he always is, hugely entertaining and kick ass at the same time. With the sub plot of the serial Killer, I thought Sybyl Shepherd was chilling in the role and think she should do more like this as this suited her like a glove. I liked the direction of the film, I didn't find it confusing or sketchy. It was interesting throughout giving good character plots, leaving us with a good one liners and a thumping sound track.

To be honest i think the serial Killer plot could have been a whole new film, however the way it was introduced into the main plot which in any other film would have been the sub plot, was very well done.

Over all? Hugely entertaining and another snipes film that fans wouldn't want to miss. We see some good acting from shepherd and peebles and I would recommend it to people who like to sit down on a Friday night with beer and a Burger. Good fun.
