Hard Luck (2001)

strong performances in a seventies like love story
This film feels and looks like a seventies film. Keys on the performances, although I wish some of the camera work and editing where better. It still sucks you in to the journey of the lead characters in a big way. Their journey to an island on a lake in scenic Oregon is both heartbreaking and leaves the viewer with that dreaded feeling of impending doom. Definitely would call it somewhat of a chick flick but worth the watch just the same.

Tear jerker from Oregon
I had never heard of this film before. It really surprised me. Very well made independent film. I thought the performances were outstanding and the Oregon coastline gorgeous. After renting so many bad independent films I'm amazed this one didn't have a larger release.

Beautiful film with strong performances
Hard Luck's main strength is its performances. Mainly of the lead actor Kirk Harris who gives the film a tragic yet hopeful feel. It is about the importance of friendship and family over anything.
