Lucky # Slevin

Pros: Wonderful cast. Interesting plot that kept my interest.
Cons: Story jumped around at times.

When I first saw a preview for Lucky Number Slevin, I thought it looked like it would be interesting. Once the movie was actually released, I heard a lot of good things about it and planned to see it. Bookies for rival crime bosses, ...

Pros: great cast, a lot of interesting elements, some great camera work
Cons: some may think there are too many one-liners, movie could seemed detached in sub-plots

Lucky Number Slevin is one of those movies that are meant to be taken in by those who appreciate film. Below the story that the audience is given, there are many subtleties to the story which take a lot to weave into an otherwise dense main plot. ...

Pros: Excellent acting, story and direction
Cons: None

I've seen this film labeled in the following genres: crime, drama and thriller. To those, I would add "comedy". Now, if you go to see this movie and count the number of killings which occur, you might think that I am crazy calling it a comedy. Well, ...

Pros: Great writing, Hartnett's performance
Cons: Some twists were a little obvious

Note: This review is guaranteed to be spoiler-free. Lucky Number Slevin stars Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Morgan Freeman in an excellent crime caper full of many twists and turns. This is the kind of ...

Pros: Quirky, delightful humor. Wonderful performances. Everything ties together beautifully in the end.
Cons: Lots of violence. Not all of it "fun".

A fantastic cast. Wonderful direction. Wild, wacky twists. A huge body count. And a ton of humor. Yes, Lucky Number Slevin has it all. Bruce Willis, Sir Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman, Josh Hartnett, and Lucy Liu bring us a wonderful film ...

Pros: slick, cool, smart, witty
Cons: multiple timelines, too smart for the average Joe

In the wake of Pulp Fiction, there was a run on the genre, with a lot of shabby, updated Mickey-Spillane wannabes, all competing for the honor of "hippest flick since Pulp Fiction." Most of them ended up on Showtime at three a.m., and deserve their ...

Pros: great acting, interesting plot line, not a boring moment
Cons: none

When I recently had the opportunity to see a pre-screening of Lucky Number Slevin, I jumped at the opportunity. I looked at the cast and thought, wow this is going to be a good one. The movie begins with a few things that set up some history. ...

Pros: Entertaining, cast, script, originality
Cons: ?????

Wow!! This movie is a wild ride from beginning to end. It keeps you guessing, hoping, and entertained the entire time, everything movies should do. "Lucky Number Slevin" is about a guy named Slevin played by Josh Hartnett, who is not so lucky. As the ...

Pros: See Review.
Cons: See Review.

With a title like Lucky Number Slevin, one does not know quite what to expect when the credit start to roll. What promised to be yet another gritty blood streaked inner-city drama turned out to be so much more than the sum of its very violent ...

Pros: All the stars laughed their way to the bank
Cons: If only the audience could do the same

Hoping to find a movie as flashy and comic book-like as Sin City, I stumbled into Slevin only to find I'd dialed the wrong number. Willis and Hartnett certainly were an excellent combination in the former, and coupled with a great deal of up and ...

Pros: Well cast characters, suspense, mystery.
Cons: For some-violence, swearing, blood, death, sex, and homosexuality.

Lucky Number Slevin, directed by Paul McGuigan, is the story of a young man named Slevin, played by Josh Harnett. Slevin is in the middle of a run of bad luck. He catches his girlfriend in bed with another man. On his way to visit a friend, he is mugged. ...

Pros: Great dialogue, great acting, great action, great pretty much everything
Cons: Toward the end, it tries to recap for stupid people, but it worked.

What do you get when you mix the fast-paced dialogue of a 1940's screwball comedy with a "Who-done-it" and a dash of James Bond? Well this film was fun to say the least. I actually found myself wanting to see it again. Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, ...

Pros: Story, Cast, Set Design, Plot twists, Ending
Cons: Not a one.

I've developed sort of a nasty habit of renting several videos at once, and then just leaving some or all of them lying around (since I don't have to pay any late fees) and then just forgetting that I've got the films in the first place. Lucky # ...

Pros: Overtly a neat action flick; the patient and perceptive viewer will be amply rewarded.
Cons: Some may find the scale of violence intimidating and thus miss the film's reward.

SEE THIS FILM! I’ve seen a number of extremely positive reviews of this film (as well as very negative ones) on various Web sites. I have yet to find one of the that has tumbled to the central point(s) of the film. I am going to have some ...

Pros: Funny, Well-written, Clever, Decent Characters, Good Acting
Cons: Minor formulaic aspects

Don't you hate reviews of crime films that continue to compare the criminal-de-jour flick to "The Usual Suspects?" I mean, for the past eleven years, reviewers have been complaining about crime movies that simply aren't living up to being the next "The ...
