Tragically, he passed away at 25 in July 2023, leaving so many heartbroken in his absence. Since his passing, a handful of posthumous performances have begun to make their way to screens, and in Your Lucky Day he scored a leading role you can now check out on Netflix.

Your Lucky Day movie hits Netflix ‘Top 10’
Directed by Daniel Brown, Your Lucky Day is an ultra-tense American action thriller that was added to Netflix this March following a theatrical release back in November 2023.
“I keep thinking about that old question… what would you do if you had a million dollars?” That’s what Angus Cloud‘s central character Sterling is asking himself.
Down on his luck and inside a convenience store, he overhears that a man has struck a winning lottery ticket of a whopping $156 million. Immediately jumping into gear, he obscures his face and decides to hold the man at gunpoint for the ticket.

When a cop who was in the bathroom emerges from the back, the stick-up quickly spirals into a hostage situation. With millions on the table, how far will the people present go to escape with their lives and a cut of the jackpot?
The movie‘s a gripping and claustrophobic gem of a thriller, and with more and more people checking it out, it’s currently the fifth movie charting on Netflix’s ‘Top 10’ category, coming in ahead of a movie I recently recommended called Unthinkable starring Samuel L. Jackson.
