Lucky Ones review highlights an uneven Iraq War road dramedy
The Lucky Ones follows three wounded GIs in a cross country trip from New York to Las Vegas. Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Pena deliver conflicted performances as they confront war, faith, and personal failures. The film blends serious themes with comic mismatches and ends unsatisfyingly with a lukewarm verdict.
