From the opening scene you know you're in for a rough ride. It's the acting. I could deal with the tired and worn plot, or the multitude of London gangster clichés, but having every line delivered like the actor or actress is hyper aware of the camera is just too much to watch.I can only assume the multitude of 5 star reviews on Amazon have been written by people connected to the film (either that or very easily pleased!). 5 star reviews should be reserved for films which are going to stand the test of time. This doesn't even come close to a film that will last. If you can make it through the first fifteen minutes then you're doing well! For a London film, don't expect too many Londoners - the main character is a posh boy who looks about fifteen years old, but just happens to be a criminal mastermind when he gathers a gang of out of work actors (or London wideboys - one of the two) to pull off a heist to pay off someone for something. It really doesn't matter. You won't care.This is the definition of 'low budget.' There's nothing here you haven't seen before, the only problem is you've seen it all soooo much better. Save yourself an hour and a half and just put Lock Stock on again. Even if you spot this in the 'bargain basket' DVD section in some motorway service station and it's going cheap, don't bother. Buy a packet of Fruit Pastels instead - they're more enjoyable.

I urge you not to waste your valuable time or money on this tripe. None of the characters made any sense - they were neither funny nor frightening. The storyline was laughable and also made no sense whatsoever! I can only imagine the reviews that say they liked it here were friends or relatives of those that made the film. I would give this zero stars but IMDb doesn't allow for it. The music was rubbish, the action so badly filmed, the attempts at comedy creaked so loudly I could hardly hear the rest of the dialogue over it. In fact, I'm not really sure why I'm wasting time writing this when I've already wasted 90 minutes watching the film. Sad, sad, sad, bad, bad, bad.

Without any expectations I started 'Get Lucky', and from the first moment on I got that this is a low-budget action movie. No known actors, some poor camera work and acting is at a sub- standard.Look through the flaws, however, and you'll find a movie that is a somewhat entertaining Brit Flick. The storyline has got some surprising elements, the gangster characters are believable and there is some humor. It's all delivered in a cheesy package, with poor special, I mean, normal effects. But most of all, the movie never reaches a high point, and that's disappointing.By no means is this a good movie. I really get the feeling they tried, but failed, to get enough out of it.

90 Minutes of my life I'll forever be trying to claw back. Badly acted, badly cut and edited The so called "fight scenes" & "special effects" would have been more at home on a SYFY Channel production. The whole thing looked as though it had been made by kids working on a school film project. After reading a review and recognising quite a few of the actors in the movie I was looking forward to watching another good BRIT GANGSTER movie as I am a big fan of the genre, but I have to say that had this been the first film of this type I had ever watched, then I would definitely NEVER have watched another. This is absolutely the worst film I have seen all year.
