![]() I think I got this challenge done in less than 2 minutes after abdication, and without assistant squasher.Įxtra note:(My opinion on how easy it is to get faction coins with titans is skewed because of the special bonus you get when you complete all the challenges).ĮDIT: if getting something like 200 faction coins to purchase 13 exchanges is a lot of work for you, then sure, go reincarnate to refresh your excavations. (assuming you only have 1 assistant)Ībdicate: Grab the assistant squasher achievement, have 1 assistant, collect what? 200 faction coins? and get the challenge done. Now playing in theaters and available on digital platforms on November 14th.Originally posted by cainboy:I found Titans had a good FC gain compared to several factions.Īnd you need only a handful of FC to afford 13 exchanges., that's like not even 3 exchanges per faction. Those words could be heard as positive encouragement or judgmental contempt. There is something wrong with everything.Īt the Sip 'n Go, there's a neon sign on the wall over the snacks and slushie maker proclaiming: "You Deserve It!". There is something wrong with this picture. Meanwhile, Abraham's girlfriend is eight months pregnant and still on her feet all day waiting tables. At one point, Abraham, on a desperate solo mission, runs through a deserted seaport, surrounded by massive cargo containers waiting to be shipped off into the faceless global market, the market overseen by the 1%, a teeny elite population who would think $156 million was pocket change. What's also exciting is Brown's resistance to explaining what he's saying. The film is not exactly cynical, but it is dark. "Your Lucky Day" understands Orwell's critique. ![]() In George Orwell's dystopian 1984, one of the few ways Big Brother interacts with its populace is through the lottery, run by the laughably-named "Ministry of Plenty." The lottery is used by the State deliberately and consciously as a way to keep the "proles" wrapped in an illusion of economic participation, dreaming of financial release. Solidarity here breaks down, though, because of Mr. There is solidarity across differences when it comes to money. Money isn't everything, but it certainly isn't nothing, not when you have mouths to feed, can't afford rent, or don't have health insurance. The characters' problems in "Your Lucky Day" are not out-of-the-ordinary. What's clear is that 99% of us are in the same boat when it comes to money. One character has a "here is my backstory" monologue that feels unnecessary, the only time the film drags. The script is very good, and the pacing is excellent. It doesn't matter who gets hurt in the process. Everyone, including the SWAT team, who eventually gather outside, is after that ticket. He also didn't count on his hostages rising to challenge him, to basically become his co-conspirators. Sterling suddenly finds himself a hostage-taker, but he is no Sonny in " Dog Day Afternoon," screaming "Attica! Attica!" to an enthusiastic crowd outside. They are no longer individuals they are a collective embroiled in a situation spiraling out of control. From this moment forward, the fate of everyone in the store is sealed. Ana and Abraham huddle over by the ice cream freezer. Sterling is the only one who acts on the collective irritation. Laird might be a cocky jerk, but he is also stupid because he makes an excited scene about how much money he just won. He then buys a lottery ticket and promptly wins $156 million. Laird balks at the price of what he's buying, treating Amir disrespectfully before proclaiming, "I love small businesses." Sure you do. We overhear all of these people having conversations. ![]() An off-duty security guard (Charlie Magdaleno) wanders the aisle. Ana ( Jessica Garza), hugely pregnant and still in her waitress uniform, stands by the ice cream freezer with her boyfriend Abraham ( Elliot Knight) in a suit and tie from his gig playing piano at a mall. Sterling (the late Angus Cloud) huddles over a magazine, looking extremely sketchy. Amir ( Mousa Hussein Kraish), behind the counter, owns the store with his brother. Brown wastes no time introducing each character. Late at night, a group of strangers find themselves in a little corner convenience store. ![]()
