Traveling Route 66, a charismatic preacher, Reverend Johnny Jones, and his seductively beautiful Latina girlfriend, Rebecca, find their lives spiraling out of control as they travel from small town to small town; running their scam on the churches they encounter along the mother road. He's able to convince people he has the power to heal their illnesses and solve their most dreadful life experiences. But what the couple think is their scam begs the question does he really have the power? It's a question that haunts him and only intensifies his inner demons. Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

I had the opportunity to attend the premiere for this movie in Dallas last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very reminiscent of BONNIE & CLYDE but with a twist. Leads Jesse James and Mariana Paola Vicente played well off each other and the film employed a plethora of well-known character actors, such as Burton Gilliam, Dennis O'Neill, and Larry Jack Dotson. Overall, it was a really good movie and I look forward to seeing what director Norman Gregory McGuire delivers next.

Ridiculous story of a guy who sins like crazy, including swearing, smoking, drinking,doing drugs and committing murders, but we are to believe he has his prayers answered by God for a divine healing.

I took the ride with "The Lucky Man". It was a hell of a ride. The movie travels you through New Mexico's desert managing to hit all the Route 66 towns along the way. I love Route 66 BTW. The preacher is able to scam his way into several cash flows to get to the next town. His unrelenting need for cocaine is mind blowing (literally). Grab a bottle of vodka and enjoy the ride.
