‘Lucky Strike’ Review: Scott Eastwood Fights a One-Man Battle for Survival in Rod Davis Lurie’s World War II Thriller

Directed by Rod Davis Lurie, Lucky Strike is a World War II thriller featuring Scott Eastwood as an American soldier trapped behind enemy lines. Co-starring Colin Hanks and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, the film is described as a lone-wolf genre piece rather than a raw combat drama. While Lurie stages the production with skill and avoids predictable outcomes, the film is characterized as derivative and not entirely enthralling, feeling tidier and safer than traditional war cinema.
