This is a snivelling psychic vampire of a movie, seemingly only existing in order to drain the life force from any poor soul who watches it. It's made of UK gangster movie cliches - the bland suits, the dubious eastern European villains, the token black character that goes hand in hand with an ill-judged conversation about race, the dead body that turns out not to be dead, the female characters only ever presented in sexy clothing, and so on. If the film had one fleck of energy or charisma this would matter a lot less, but Get Lucky fails at being entertainment as surely as it fails at being art. It's tempting to blame the cast here, but admittedly, they aren't given a lot to work with. At no point in this movie did I care what happened to the characters, nor did I believe any of them to be capable of real violence . The two protagonists seemed like they attended the David Cameron school of charm only to be asked to leave under suspicious circumstances. The two Ikea gangsters on the other side seem more like moody clowns at a UKKIP members birthday party than people who would happily snap your arm at a moment's notice. You might think I'm exaggerating but there's actually many more faults I could list, I'm going to leave it there so I can start to move on with my life. Please, don't watch this movie.
