Paul Cunningham is a man who is in serious trouble because he owes a bookie money who is perhaps not the sort of person who will go through the courts to get his money back . Paul has till the end of next week to pay back £1800 or else . On his way home he witnesses a homeless man being beaten up
!!!! SPOILERS !!!!
I don't care if I'm upsetting anyone who reads this but I absolutely hated Jamie Palmer's short film PAUL'S LUCKY DAY . It gives immorality a bad name . Paul takes a homeless man , a victim of a mugging back to his flat and when he finds out he has the winning numbers on a lottery ticket he suffocates him . There you go , we're asked to empathise with a murderer , we're asked to feel happy that a murderer has won the lottery , I don't think so . There's also a massive plot hole involved here because if you suffocate someone with a pillow this will show up in a post Morten . Considering the homeless man has died in very suspicious circumstances a post morten would be compulsory and yet the pathologist hasn't noticed the cause of death
Morality - Or rather the lack of it - aside , PAUL'S LUCKY DAY is something of a failure on the technical side . This short is filmed in murky monochrome which isn't pleasing to the eye but it's the sound mix which is the major irritant since I could hardly make out a bloody word that was being spoken
Paul might have been lucky . I doubt if anyone watching this will feel the same way
