Lucky Bastard Reviews
Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e quase ninguém melhora o filme, as cenas são mais ou menos, que colocaram um cara maluco no meio de um produção pornografica e mata algumas pessoas da produção, menos no final que comeu a atriz porno e ela aproveitou e matou o cara e acabou, o filme merecia quase 0,75 de estrela pir que teve partes interessantes só que com cenas ruins, eu meio que recomendo só pela história que até é interessante.
The real challenge of this movie for me was trying to stay awake. You can read my full review at... http://revronmovies.blogspot.com/2014/09/lucky-bastard.html
The found footage offers a rawness to the film, and the actors do a great job of melting into that false reality. I say RENT IT!!!
The first half of Lucky Bastard is better than it probably deserves to be given the crude subject matter and dialogue because it offers insight into an industry that is frowned upon by most. However, the latter half is less insightful and more inhuman, leaving a dirty taste in the viewers' mouth and squandering what could have been a welcome addition to the found footage genre.
'Lucky Bastard' is a bracingly original found footage film which is well-acted and effectively creepy. It builds up plenty of suspense and thrills while being often unpredictable and entertaining. The only let-down is that it didn't seem to make the most of its NC-17 rating, the ideas were there, the execution just seemed a tad bit too safe.
It's not necessarily a GREAT horror movie, but it's certainly an interesting one, and pretty original to boot.
a found-footage flick that makes the adult industry all the more terrifying what starts out as a fun day turns into an erotic nightmare it's a shame that the winner of a website contest who has the chance to have sexual intercourse with an adult entertainer is pushed to the breaking point the found-footage style here is expertly crafted with wit, pizazz, and realism we even are treated to a bigger view of the whole profession and how it is just as business and how it's supposed to work it's unflinchingly violent to boot and at times creepy yet still feels a bit restrained from what could have been shown it's a nail-biter that's for sure
Not that you know what it's about - you're probably wondering... "Mike, what did you think of it?" Well...it's not a bad movie. I liked it. Now...keep in mind...it's no HUGE HOLLYWOOD BUDGET FILM...but it gets the job done. Without giving too much away - it had its good parts and maybe a couple of bad parts. THE GOOD...interesting 'found footage' story. I've watched a lot of movies like this - but this has to be the FIRST 'Found Footage' Porn flick for me. (lol) I thought it was cool - I mean...what guy hasn't wished of winning a contest like this. (lol) I know I have...and for some reason I always pictured myself doing what David/Ernest does...EXCEPT THE KILLING PART! (lol) I thought when David/Ernest decides to go all psycho - his murders were believable. (lol) I'm not going to lie - I was worried about the blood stuff. So HIGH 5 there LUCKY BASTARD folks! (lol) Last but not least - David/Ernest whatever. I thought the dude who played him - was solid. David/Ernest was a total creeper!! I guess because of people like HIM is the reason why we don't see a lot of contests like these. (lol) DAMN YOU CRAZIES! THE BAD...some of the acting was a little off for me. I mean...for a 'found footage' porn movie - the sex parts - they didn't feel right for me...kind of cheesy...not believable. AND I KNOW...some of ya'll are thinking "What do you know Mike?!" and to that I would say, "I'm a connoisseur of Adult Entertainment - and that is all. (lol) OH WAIT...WHY WOULDN'T ASHLEY RUN?! COME ONNNN...SHE HAD SO MANY CHANCES!!! Ok - I'm good now. I just had to get that out. OH WAIT one more thing...my Casey :( I was soooo Team Casey. (HAWT) I GIVE LUCKY BASTARD 2 OUT OF 5 POPCORN'S...it's a cool watch. If you're into midnight slasher flicks, WTF movies, 'found footage' movies or even porn...then LUCKY BASTARD is for you. (lol) LUCKY BASTARD will release at the Cinema Village this Friday in New York and at the Laemmle's NoHo 7 in Los Angeles on March 7th - it will expand to additional cities throughout the spring.
From the perspective of a life-long diehard movie enthusiast, I really enjoyed Lucky Bastard and find myself surprisingly haunted by some of the imagery and the darkness of the story's antagonist. It would be easy to dismiss Lucky Bastard as something trite and low-brow and seemingly not worth the time to pop some corn. Any movie in which the backdrop is the adult film industry suffers an immediate stigma and a lot of closed minds unwilling to consider it as a "legitimate" movie-going experience. That is unfortunate because there is much to treasure here, from the frequently hilarious dialogue to the spot-on performance of Don McManus to the shocking moments of violence that seem totally plausible in today's world. Lucky Bastard is a highly entertaining exercise in the found-footage genre, lending the impression that we are watching real people in a real situation. Unlike other found-footage movies that focus on the supernatural and therefore become questionable in their realism, Lucky Bastard unfolds with specific and tangible reality. Some may question the acting ability of the cast, but don't be fooled by kneejerk critical reactions. These actors know what they're doing to sell the concept of the movie, as do the artists behind the camera. The very premise, that of a young man who wins a date with his favorite adult film star and visits the set of an adult website to perform in a scene, is 200% believable in the p*rn-saturated cyber reality we live in today. And if you're paying attention, the movie addresses something far beyond the on-screen dalliances of a hopeful everyman and his dream woman. It's ultimately about the dangers of exploitation and the risk of gleefully humiliating so-called geeks, people we label without really knowing them or what they are capable of unleashing. When you consider the facts of today's world in which troubled young people walk into shopping malls and schools and IHOPs to open fire with automatic weapons, Lucky Bastard presents a disturbingly potential reality of what can and does happen when you don't know what you're really dealing with. To give away Lucky Bastard's plot turns would do a disservice to the prospective viewer. I would simply say give the movie a shot if you want to be entertained, amused, titillated, and ultimately shocked. The movie will gently carry you along for a while, making you laugh, misleading you into a lazy state of casual observation until the first shock comes. The latter half of the film is far from humorous, and there are moments that will resonate, especially when you think about the internet-obsessed guy next door who seems harmless yet a little creepy. Lucky Bastard puts a fresh spin on the found-footage genre and is effective in delivering laughs, surprises, and an ick factor that you'll think about after it's over. It's also worth mentioning that it's one of the few thrillers I can think of that delivers gruesome events in bright daylight, and that stylistic choice really stood out to me and helps distinguish Lucky Bastard as a unique and believable tale. I think this movie has a very strong appeal to a young, hip audience, and I'm really hoping it can get the attention it deserves and rise above those who would carelessly dismiss it. Check it out!
cleaver little indie film,the acting is very wooden but the story plays out rather Well and proved to be a ok film
A rather unique found-footage thriller, Lucky Bastard depicts the producers of a porn website called "Lucky Bastard" as they film their final segment for the site. The site pairs members up with the porn stars they love and records their experience. However, this particularly pairing of an overly knowledgeable fan and its favorite porn star takes a deadly turn. A rather intelligent deconstruction of the porn film and a critique of the capitalist system that produces such films, Lucky Bastard is an engaging, at times erotic, and brutal little horror film that shows that the found-footage style still has some life in it.
