Rated Good Fortune 7/10

This review may contain spoilers. There's certainly a better version of this movie in which the Gabriel character is played by someone who not only has an alien affect, but who commits to the unraveling of the angelic character and the full-on corruption by humanity. But, hey, Keanu is charming. We love to see him. Good Fortune would have you think it was written by someone who's been really fantasizing about organizing gig workers as opposed to a guy who takes oil money from a murderous state. As it stands, it probably isn't going to join Norma Rae in the pantheon of labor movies simply because it's more of an observational comedy about how much it rules to have money compared to how much it sucks to not have money. But I was kind of getting into the mythology and lore here. I enjoy the idea that Sandra Oh assigns certain angels to specific drive-texters because there's kind of a grand plan that hinges on it There's a very brief, but memorable performance by the mentat in Dune, who is played by that legendary character actor whose name I should remember. It's all just a backdrop for "rich people party like this, while poor people don't party at all" and - spoilers, but not really - it will lead up to a point where your greatest fantasy is that some rich people will eventually be forced to feel empathy and thus do the right thing. Notice how no one in this movie actually succeeds in organizing! Interesting.
