Enjoyable Vegas-set dramedy about a man who can make others unlucky, great performances from Macy and Bello, good mostly lighthearted fun
Very great character in a solid, unique story. Great underseen movie that is enjoyable to watch multiple times
A solid film with a dark undertone. Not a traditional gambling movie.
Great and unique idea. Haven't seen anything like it before. Acting was good as well
Decent indie romance drama movie with some great performances. Worth watching
Interesting concept and great William H Macy performance but most of the rest is distractingly bad.
An adult fairytale. The “luck” (bad AND good) goes too far to be taken seriously and it’s just too mean to be taken lightly.
Great performances from Alec Baldwin and William H. Macy make this little drama more entertaining than it should be.
A better than average casino themed movie.
Predictable, but well acted, sometimes slow melodrama.
