NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

rusty-26 I watched two episodes and that was enough. I simply did not understand anything! Not that I have much grasp of horse racing in the first place, but most TV series that takes on a little "quirky" subjects tend to present this in a way that the uninitiated understands. Here there has not been enough focus on telling an understandable and captivating story. Nolte and Hoffman speaks incomprehensible, mumbling to a degree that it seems distracting, despite the subtitles. Have they learned from Marlon Brando? A pity because on papers this series looked very interesting with a lot of good actors.

jbradleyclarke I think the unexpected cancellation of Luck is the saving grace of the series. So much about Luck was done right. The actors, the set, and the jargon are all great, and there is no question that Milch worked hard to give the audience an authentic experience. I think this series was not going to be a long term success, however, for the same reasons Milch's Geronimo was not a great success: You have to entertain an audience as much as you educate them. In the case of Luck, the series was really palatable for just horse racing fans. I struggled to follow what was happening, and I could not become especially excited by any of the characters. I hope Milch will pursue another series and try harder to strike a balance between excellent acting, an authentic story, and an entertaining sex appeal.

Krag I watched the first three episodes back-to-back and couldn't have enjoyed a TV show more. Other favorites that are new are Kelsey's "Boss" and Poppy's "Unforgetable" ... anyway Luck has a heavy hitting cast, and they are excellent. My only complaint is the loud music during a race, why the hell can't they just use natural sound? I turn off the sound during racing, but that may be just me. I'm going to repeat because IMDb's rule of 10 lines... I watched the first three episodes back-to-back and couldn't have enjoyed a TV show more.

savannahkhan Although the first episode of this series was painful to get through, each episode thereafter gets better and better. After an inaudible beginning "Luck" just might careers and an industry.As a horse lover and long time fan of Nick Nolte, I wanted to like this show but the first episode was loaded with track jargon, slang, broken English, low quality sound, and heavy accents. There also wasn't much seen of Nolte in the first episode. Fortunately I had the first 3 episodes programmed on the DVR so I had a vested interest in at least watching these recorded episodes. By the third episode I enabled closed caption so that I could follow better. I wish I had not deleted the first episode because I would have re-watched it in closed caption. This first episode is chock-full of information and innuendos, probably why it was so difficult to get through.This is unfortunate because the series gets better with each episode and I'm sure the lack of clarity in the beginning has meant the series has lost viewers. Viewers should know, however, that Nolte and Dustin Hoffman are not in this series for nothing. Nolte, whose notorious good looks is now replaced with grey hair and lots of character is a nostalgic owner/trainer brokenhearted over the past with a keen sense of a good race horse. Hoffman starts out stiff and almost out of place, but then his character is out of place due to a series of previous events.Integrity and love is really what this series is about. The four gamblers, you find, after a few episodes, really love each other. The jockeys love to ride, Nolte loves horses, and Hoffman loves his right hand man. What seems evident is that some day soon, all of these characters will come together in an as yet unknown common experience.The sound quality of this series is perhaps the only flaw and it's a big flaw. This seems to be common in today's movies and series. You understood every word Bogart said in Casablanca. It is called "projection." Old school directors and actors knew about this. I don't know what happened or why contemporary films ignores the need for people to hear and understand what characters are saying. It's almost as if they think this some type of technique but it isn't and is surely the reason, perhaps the only reason that this show may not get the viewers it deserves. Despite this,I rate this series high which says just how good this series could be.If you love horses, racing, Nolte, Hoffman or Farina, I highly recommend this series, despite the audio issues which I hope, given a second season, they fix. If you love a good race, which there seems to be one in almost every episode, this series is also for you. "Luck," given the chance, may revive the horse racing industry. It reminds you of just why this sport is the "sport of kings." Hope they will fix the audio, first time I can remember sound being such a "handicap."
