Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I have just wasted two hours of my life, don't make the same mistake. From the awful acting to the utterly pointless scenes, I am dumbfounded at how this movie has any good reviews. The scenes were so odd and some characters so OTT you expected something to happen out of the ordinary.....it never did! This was pretty much the entire length of the film. The acting was at times embarrassing to watch, from most of the characters. It's been a long time since I have sat through such a bad movie, shame really as the story-line had potential.
One of the worst films I have ever seen. The actors can't act, the script must have been the idea of a teenager high on coke who have never written anything before but have seen a few films with a similar plot. There were visual effects that reminded me of some of the Indian serials which I would consider to be worse than porn artistically speaking. Such a waste of time and energy.
I will go see a good Indy Film over the Hollywood Blockbusters every day of the week. The Filmmaker told a great story (original) and carried it all the way to a great ending. Having hot chicks in the movie is never a bad thing either. Two thumbs up!
"The Lucky Man" can be compared to Malick's '73 masterpiece "The Badlands" in several ways. It's a damn good road show, and the killings have a purose. This is a film that just grows darker until the very end. It never gets dull. I don't know how realistic the ending is, but it does close out the movie. I do see a sequal.
