For fans of Benicio Del Toro or of director Michael Mann, a visit to the cinema this weekend will have proved a tantalising experience. There, among the trailers, they might have found a sneak preview of Lucky Star, a peppy-looking thriller made with the same stylised flourish Mann brought to Heat, The Insider and Ali, starring the professionally addled Del Toro as a master gambler cleaning up at both casino and stock market. His judgment, we learn, is faultless, his wagers blessed with luck remarkable enough to attract the suspicions of various murky government agents, who duly hound him into leaving town in a gleaming silver convertible. But where is he going? What destiny awaits him? Fade to black. Coming Soon.
