Charles Koplinski Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam 6h
2.5/4.0
It’s all pretty standard stuff, the movie flirting with tedium over its 100-minute running time. The action scenes are capably rendered though hardly inspired, one blurring into another. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 8h
One of the most powerful and emotionally immersive viewing experiences on the screen today, LUCKY STRIKE derives its power from experiencing the war through the first-person perspective of Captain Castle. Go to Full Review M.N. Miller FandomWire 12h
4/10
Lucky Strike has its heart in the right place, but the war drama is a cinematic misfire that misses the mark time and time again. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 12h
3/4
Avoids jingoism in favor of sincere, heartfelt admiration. Go to Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 12h
2/5
A fairly generic war film, its numerous attempts to thrill never come to life, and Scott Eastwood simply has no charisma here Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 15h
A dull and clunky war movie with more physical grit than emotional grit. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
