My Lucky Star

A cynical and down-on-his-luck private investigator, who believes he is cursed, is hired by a wealthy businessman to find a missing woman. As he delves deeper into the case, he encounters a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous situations, forcing him to confront his own superstitions and the possibility that his 'bad luck' might actually be a guiding force.

My Lucky Star received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised its blend of dark comedy and existential themes, others found the plot convoluted and the pacing uneven.
