The Lucky Man (2017)
Yikes, this is a sick movie and one of the strangest I've ever watched
THE GOOD - This is so stylishly-filmed it's unbelievable. The wild camera techniques - quick flashes, sudden changes from color to devil red, distorted sound bytes, shakey camera shots, wild colors and symbolic images, distorted sound bytes - are all fascinating to watch. Then there's the crazy story, which ranges from really good to really bad The two leads, "Rev Jones and Rebecca" are kinda co-dependent on one another. He likes his drugs, and she likes her style and shopping habits. He struggles keeping the cash flow going for his drug addiction and her Gucci purses, and some damn boots she mentions a thousand times.
THE BAD NEWS - The drug use in this movie is OVER THE TOP. WOW. The actor who plays Rev. Jones either did a lot of cocaine or endured the pain of snorting a lot of baking soda. Painful to watch sometimes. You can just see it in his face. Then there is the performance of Rebecca, she struggled to nail the character. The Preacher carried the movie.
