Film Review: LuckyDay starring Luke Bracey, Nina Dobrev and Crispin Glover
That’s the question viewers may ask when watching Roger Avary’s total throwback of a gonzo action comedy,director dusted off the shelf a few decades too late.
Generic and too self-indulgent, if energetic and occasionally funny, the film’s greatest attribute is by far co-star Crispin Glover, who steals the show as a deranged French-speaking assassin named Luc Chaltier — a crazy invention of a killer who, among other things, slices a hipster’s throat and runs him over twice with his car, turns an art gallery of overdressed snobs into a Jackson Pollock bloodbath and, because why not, tosses a condom filled with his own semen at a bartender before...
The setup is pulp simple: Red , a safecracker fresh off a two-year prison sentence, comes home to Chloe , his Gallic “honeybun,” as he calls her , and their daughter, Beatrice , for a little loving and R&R.
These include over-the-top Francophilia , with a cast of non-French actors blurting out French dialogue for no clear reason ; over-the-top gruesome violence, including a scene where a decapitated body jiggles around to Charles Aznavour’s variété classic “Les Comédiens”; and some overtly tasteless stabs at sex humor, such as an early scene where Chloe complains to Red about “the full liter” he left after they make love following his release from jail.
