Hood Luck (2012)

An improvement on director Andy Frith's later film, <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/198-grand/" rel="nofollow">198 Grand</a>'</em>, but that isn't saying too much. As usual with these amateur low-budget films, I respect all involved in getting a film made and out there - I'm sure it isn't easy! However, <em>'Hood Luck'</em> isn't any good. The premise is decent but is very thin, with the filmmakers not creating anything intriguing to go with it. It only lasts for an hour though, so it doesn't outstay its welcome at least. For what these sorta films are, I don't mind the cast. Sure their acting isn't anything standout but they have my respect. Interesting to see Abigail Hamilton involved, given she has an... erm... *unforgettable* appearance in Frith's aforementioned other flick. Richard Blackwood, nowadays known for impressing in UK soaps <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EastEnders" rel="nofollow">EastEnders</a>'</em> and <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollyoaks" rel="nofollow">Hollyoaks</a>'</em>, appears, which is a nice little coup for the production. Serves a purpose I guess, but I couldn't say this is one to rush and see.
