Colin Hanks and Ari Graynor in Lucky (2011)
Ben's obsession with Lucy leads him down a dark path, as he begins murdering women who remind him of her. But when he wins the lottery -- courtesy of a ticket that belonged to one of his victims -- the pair are united in marriage. Despite the odds (and due to Lucy's love of money), the couple begins working together to protect Ben's secret.

    • Trivia
      Colin Hanks also played a serial killer in season 6 of "Dexter"
    • Goofs
      When Grace finds the 2nd check and opens the envelope the check is correctly made payable to Benjamin Keller, however the 'Authorized Signature' is also Ben's name (signature) (which also looks like a handwriting font as the 2 L's and E's in Keller are exactly the same)
    • Quotes

      Grace: You seem like such nice people. Such nice people!

      Ben Keller: We're still nice people, Grace, but we're also in love. And love's kinda scary. I'm starting to realize that now.

    A subject treated differently with a surprise at every turn
    Lucky is a serial killer's tale through the eye of a cynic. It's a dark comedy that anyone can easily enjoy.

    The good. Surprising scenario, nicely put together. When you think it's going to go left, it goes right. Imaginative ideas in the story. Excellent ending. This is not your Hollywood mush, it has realism mixed in the movie flair.

    The bad. A few logical hitch, but easily ignored.

    The ugly. Nothing.

    The result. If you like films that are different, offbeat, this is for you. Everyone else should at least give it a try.
