Fortunately
A suitcase full of money in a Vegas hotel room. It’s a common way to start entertainment, but even if Lucky doesn’t threaten to break paradigms it achieves a short, twisted twist. Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Lucky, a woman who thinks she’s taken off a crowned eagle with lover Cary (Drew Starkey), only to wake up the next day strapped to an empty bed. Worse, where the money is gone, the original owners aren’t – and soon they have Annette Bening’s boss Priscilla on her tail and the Feds. Lucky doesn’t hold back – the first part is a long chase – but as long as you leave your worries at the door, you’ll have a lot of fun.

JK Simmons Star as their leader, Eamon Sweeney, who, for all his brutality, is struggling to keep the brutality of his soldiers long enough to deal with the trade of goods with the Italian people.
