“Lucky Day,” directed by Roger Avary, begins in a prison cell, but rather than hearing from the bearded fellow in that cell, the voice-over is of a young girl. She’s Beatrice, daughter of prisoner Red, bemoaning the fact that her dad has missed two years of her growth.

Red (an undistinguished Luke Bracey), a safecracker, leaves prison and is reunited with his quirky family, including his conspicuously cutesy conceptual-artist wife, Chloe; daughter Beatrice; and their housekeeper, who’s been working for free in exchange for French lessons. Like Avary’s directorial debut, 1993’s “Killing Zoe,” this movie has a thing for Frenchness, including a hit man, Luc, played by Crispin Glover, who speaks with an outrageous accent and wants Red dead to avenge his own departed frère. Most of the other plot points of the picture are just as tired as this one.
