'Perfect' thriller with Game of Thrones star that 'needs to win Oscar'

A gripping film ‘like no other’, hailed as ‘Oscar-worthy’ and boasting an all-star ensemble, is now available for streaming.

The Luckiest Man In America can now be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home if you have a Sky Cinema subscription or a movies pass with NOW.

The movie had a very brief theatrical run in the US earlier this year in April but has swiftly transitioned to streaming services.

The straightforward synopsis reveals that an ice-cream van driver uncovers a clandestine method to become a winning contestant on a US game show.

Set against the backdrop of 1984, the storyline is inspired by the true events surrounding Michael Larsen, who became one of the most notorious participants on the game show Press Your Luck.

The film delves into how he managed to pull off his scheme, and the ensuing pandemonium it caused behind the scenes. Paul Walter Hauser, celebrated for his performances in Cobra Kai, Inside Out 2, and Richard Jewell, portrays Larsen.

He’s joined by a stellar cast including Walton Goggins of The White Lotus fame and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams. Additionally, David Strathairn appears as the real-life TV executive Bill Carruthers, reports Surrey Live.

Audiences who have stumbled upon this relatively obscure cinematic piece have been thoroughly impressed by their discovery. They’ve also been enthralled by the peculiar true story upon which it is based.

One viewer succinctly summed up their experience: “This movie is like the sandwich you decided to try and ended up loving it.”

One enthusiastic viewer claimed: “This needs to win an Oscar. This is one of the best Films I’ve ever seen it is amazing. I don’t want to spoil it but no one has gone to see it because the Minecraft movie came out the same day and people right now would rather watch that because of the memes which makes me upset. You need to watch this now.”

However, another viewer was not entirely convinced by the film’s classification as a thriller. They said: “I didn’t know the true story behind it and the Sky description said it’s a thriller. I love thrillers but this movie isn’t always suspenseful. It’s certainly a movie like no other.”

One viewer praised the film highly, saying: “Overall, The Luckiest Man in America is a must-see film that balances heart and humour, leaving me feeling inspired and hopeful. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling and uplifting cinematic experience!”.

Another echoed this sentiment, expressing admiration for the film’s narrative and meta narrative, visuals, set, and wardrobe. They described it as “A perfect thriller, beautifully subversive by being simple. It plays the audience with the narrative and the meta narrative without complicating it. The visuals, set and wardrobe are on point and heighten everything by being exactly what they are. An honest and direct story worth watching.”

The Luckiest Man In America is streaming on Sky Cinema and NOW.
