In spite of a prison release, this might not be Red's lucky day
Lucky Day is a 2019 crime/thriller film written and directed by Roger Avary. It is a spiritual sequel to Killing Zoe.
Tropes that apply to Lucky Day:
- Asshole Victim: Blarney deserves very much the kick in the balls by Chloe. It also counts with the Hispanic thug killed by Chaltiel.
- Butt-Monkey: Jean-Jacques. He gets no respect from anyone, he has a toothbrush moustache, his girlfriend copulates with Chaltiel and gets Killed Offscreen by the same guy. Chaltiel kills him, Pierre and Louis at the same time.
- The Dog Bites Back: Chloe finally has enough of Blarney's harassment towards her by kicking him in the balls and giving the finger to him.
- Flipping the Bird: Agent Sanchez gives the finger twice to Red, Chloe one time to Blarney and the Hispanic thug towards Chaltiel. Jean-Jacques gives the V variant to Pierre and Louis.
- Narrator All Along: Beatrice was the narrator at the beginning.
- Omniglot: Lolita, Beatrice's babysitter, speaks English, French and Spanish.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Agent Sanchez quickly gets on Red's nerves but he is just doing his job and Red is violating his parole. In the end Sanchez saves Red, Chloe and Beatrice from Chaltiel and does not return Red to prison because Red was just protecting his family from a murderous psycho.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Agent Sanchez is the most foul-mouthed character in the movie.
- Take That!: Blarney being a sexual harasser towards Chloe is basically a vicious jab towards Harvey Weinstein.
- Taking You with Me: Chaltiel tries to kill Red, Chloe, Beatrice and Agent Sanchez by blowing himself up before the end.
- Time Title: Named for the day that Red gets out of prison.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: Although Luc Chaltiel should be French, Crispin Glover gives a bizarre accent that mixes the French one with the Glover's New York one, sounding like a guy who comes from Eastern Europe than from France. Jean-Jacques believes that Chaltiel is not really French but instead somehow came to delude himself that he is.
- Your Head Asplode: Pierre gets his head blown up by Jean-Jacques' sawed-off shotgun after the latter was shot in the head by Chaltiel.
