Fluke

Fluke is currently streaming in Australia on MGM Amazon Channel, and in the US on MGM Plus and Wonder Project Amazon Channel, and it earns its set pieces rather than just delivering them. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. 283 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. No filler scenes, no spinning wheels between the action. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on MGM Amazon Channel.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Fluke is worth clearing space for. Fluke understands that stakes only matter if you care who is at risk. Workaholic Thomas Johnson dies in an auto accident and reincarnates as a dog. Remembering some of his previous being, he returns to his wife and son to protect them from the man who caused his accident. But, as time goes by, his memories return, and Thomas realizes he wasn't such a good husband and father. Matthew Modine and Nancy Travis lead a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. It hit screens in 1995. What separates Fluke from disposable action entertainment is character work that survives the explosions. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Fluke is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Matthew Modine anchors the chaos with real screen presence. Every set piece here is doing more than one job at once.

Fluke was released in 1995, directed by Carlo Carlei. The full 96-minute film is available to watch now.
