luck above all

Rating: 5/10 (28 February 2014)

Chris is an Irish tennis player, who, after forming a friendship with well off Tom, he enters a relationship with his Tom's sister, Cloe. All seem to go well for Chris, who wants above all to become rich and powerful. That up until he meets Tom's fiancé, Nola, an American actress. Chris falls for Nola, but he marries Cloe after all. When Nola and Tom break up, Chris will have an affair with her. Things seem well again, until Nola gets pregnant and wants Chris to leave his wife. Chris now has to chose between the two women and the two life styles. The movie is about how luck can change someones life. Chris, an ambitious man, struggles between wealth and love, and eventually has to make a choice. The performances are very good and dramatic, drama after all is the main atmosphere of the film. The story keeps getting better and better and keeps you entertained and interested at the same time. The scenery is lovely and the scenes are carefully cut off, long enough to show what they need to present, but to give you food for thought at the same time. The end is disappointing however, after watching all the plot, you really want to have an answer. All in all, a good drama film with interesting plot.
