Interesting Backdrop to Iraq Conflict - The Lucky Ones review by CP Customer
The Middle East film genre is stuffed full of films regarding action and the consequences of the decision to invade. Very few take a look life back home for returning forces members and their difficulty in adjusting to civilian life. In this respect the Lucky Ones is of interest but the film fails to develop or provide new insight or revelation. Each of the trio are polar opposites yet they soon find common ground and recollections are discussed openly. Lucky Ones is a campfire session of experience and what they plan to do when they finally get back to their loved ones.
