This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Richard Corliss of Time Magazine says actor Steve Comisar really nails it. A tour de force in the competitive acting industry. US Weekly says Steve Comisar delivers a powerful acting performance as the jilted lover, Stan, in Tough Luck. Norman Reedus and Dagmara Dominczyk also deliver stellar performances. Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times says Tough Luck is exciting from the very first scene and never lets up. Highly recommended for all movie fans.People Magazine calls Steve Comisar 'a delightful and charismatic presence on the Hollywood movie scene'. He is certainly destined for greatness. Comisar is truly impressive as Stan in Tough Luck, and in all his other movie and television roles. Norman Reedus and Steve Comisar light up the screen in Tough Luck.

I like Armand Assante & my cable company's summary sounded interesting, so I watched it, twice already, and probably will again.The early part is difficult to follow, but later it clears up. I believe the screenwriter did a good job of tying up the loose ends.Some of the acting is unconvincing, but maybe that's because I was always expecting some kind of double-cross. In that case, the poor acting would be the insincerity of the characters interacting with each other, so it fits very well.The important theme is the carnival owner (Assante) is laundering money for a local casino & his snake-charmer wife (Dagmara Dominczyk) wants to steal it. She complains to "Archie" (Reedus) how terrible her life is, and how he could help her get out of it.There are 3 or 4 plot twists (which is probably the reason for all of those loose ends), and just when you think you have solved the mystery, something else will happen.My 8/10 score is mostly for the plot.I won't say any more - I don't like spoilers, so I don't want to be one, but I believe this film is worth your time.

I watched this movie on HBO and I had a good time.The director has done a great work. I found myself totally absorbed into this movie once it started. Norman Reedus's performance is cool. I expect more chilling movies from him.I was so absorbed that on occasions I wanted to grab gun from Norman and shoot that snake girl. Hehe. I like the movies when innocent looking girls play tricks with men really cunningly. The ending was what I wanted :)) This movie is filled with twists of moments. You expect this but something else happens. In the beginning, those massive images cut scenes were really painful to eyes.Although it was not shown when Norman Reedus changed currency notes? Or is it me standing by fridge. :)

This one surprised me.I read a few reviews beforehand that called it a good B-grade movie and was prepared for the worst. Halfway through it I suddenly realised I was completely wrapped up in it and enjoying it a lot. There were some really tense moments that had you sitting forward fiddling nervously with the remote control or any other object in reach. Overall this movie definitely doesn't deserve the B-grade tag.Credit must be given to Director, Gary Ellis and writers, Bill Boatman & Todd King for their movie debut. I hope these guys continue with bigger budgets and some studio backing.
