Mario Van Peebles directs and acts in this gritty crime/action drama and does a great job in my opinion. I truly don't understand all of the negative reviews this flick has gotten on IMDb other than to say that I think maybe people simply don't always give quirky or offbeat films a chance. The cast is terrific, Wesley Snipes (as "Lucky") displays a very authentic demeanour throughout the movie that is indicative of how well he seasoned as an actor over time. Luis Guzmán is also entertaining as the eccentric and very flamboyant pornographer "Million Dollar Mendez", while Cybill Shepherd is absolutely fantastic as one half of a vicious serial killer couple that eventually crosses paths with Snipes. There is also some fun performances from greats like Bill Cobbs and Tom Kemp, while actress Jackie Quinones is fantastic (and super sexy) as the sultry and sharp-tongued stripper Angela.
I'm not sure what people are looking for when they sit down to watch movies like this, but Hard Luck is fun, entertaining, and full of heart.
Not everything is meant to be taken so seriously, so relax and enjoy this action packed adventure - Jackie Quinones and her fabulous booty should be reason enough!
