Review of Lucky Bastard

Lucky Bastard (2014)
6/10
Not what I expected
15 February 2014
I was expecting a very low budget flick with bad acting filmed on a camera phone. A soft porn disguising itself as a thriller. Not even sure why I watched except something in the trailer told me maybe I was wrong. And I was. Now I'm not going to claim this was great art or anything but it was entertaining and kept my interest til the end.

I'm not much for found footage movies, can't stand them really but they did find a way to use a better quality then most by having it take place in a reality show house equipped with cameras everywhere. I think that really helped me enjoy this "found footage" So don't let the FF term keep you from watching.

I expected acting to be on the porn level but found it to be much better and believable. The dude who played the lucky bastard was really good. Both when he played the shy kind of frustrated nerd all the way through to the other side. I think I enjoyed his performance most, watching that transition and thinking of the frustrated nerds I've known. Yeah I could see that happening! Overall a decent flick, much better then I thought it would be. I'll give it a 6/10
