Set in the New York underworld where nothing is as it seems Lucky Number Slevin is an action-packed fun-as-hell roller coaster ride (Venice Magazine). When down-on-his-luck Slevin (Josh Hartnett) stumbles into a running feud between the city s most feared crime bosses (Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley) he ignites an all-out war. Tracked by a mysterious assassin (Bruce Willis) and distracted by his flirtatious neighbor (Lucy Liu) Slevin must try to cheat death by turning the tables on the gangsters. If you take the best parts of Pulp Fiction The Usual Suspects and The Professional what you get is Lucky Number Slevin (Shawn Edwards Fox-TV).Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:Â R UPC:Â 796019794817 Manufacturer No:Â 79481

Summary: More Style than Substance? Maybe, But with this Much Style, it doesn't Matter!
Comment: I was gifted this movie and my first thought was, "What the hell is a Slevin?", but thanks to its clever dialogue, tongue-in-cheek humor, and excellent actors, Slevin quickly made it onto my short-list of favorite films.
This is a film that savors contrast, both in visual as well as narrative terms. Almost everything, from the wallpaper and floor tiles, to chessboards, and especially the central characters, suggests duality, light and dark, good and evil. The film itself goes from clever comedy to brutal revenge tale in the space of a single scene.
Cool visuals don't make a movie, but Slevin has plenty of cool in other places as well. Hartnett and Liu are charming and have some of the best on screen chemistry I've seen in a long time. Freeman and Kingsley are fun to watch in roles they don't usually get to play, and Willis delivers his usual steely-faced assassin bit with just the right amount of humanity.
DVD has no extra features - nada, zilch. So if you dig that stuff, you'll miss it here. Dolby Digital is available though, so you can at least get that theater quality audio.

Summary: Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number.
Comment: This film took me by surprise. It is an excellent movie with a compelling story, wonderful acting and brilliant direction. I have not seen this intense a movie since "The Departed".
Josh Hartnett is great in this film. One of the best performances I have seen him in. Sir Ben Kingsley is terrific as well. The character he portrays is outstanding. Morgan Freeman and Stanley Tucci deliver good performances but overall, I think Bruce Willis came out on top. His character is fabulous and no-one but Willis could play that character the way Willis does. He has such a serious and laid back attitude for such a deadly assassin.
The story sucks you in brilliantly. Just like "The Departed", I was compelled more and more to continue to watch. The story had grasped hold of me and I could not stop watching. Of course, more and more became revealed which built it up for a shocking turn of events (if you did not see it coming). Don't try to guess ahead of the film, watch in unfold and enjoy where it is going.
There is plenty of action in this film. Bruce Willis shows us again why he is a brilliant action star and why he is a natural born on-screen killer. I also had a fond liking of the music in this film. The ending song is now one of my all time favorites.
I really don't know how to describe this movie except as Outstanding. Paul McGuigan has created a masterpiece in my opinion. The only thing I can suggest is watch it! You won't regret it!

Summary: Great Movie with many twists
Comment: I Really enjoyed this movie! The characters were great with super comic relief throughout the film. I would recommend this to any friend.... but we've all seen and liked it. I love those movies that are paced well and can deliver an unexpected "bang" at the end.

Summary: Light entertainment
Comment: Bruce Willis is great as the assassin, and Josh Hartnett is pretty good as the main character, though he looks a lot like Ashton Kucher to me. Lucy Liu got on my nerves as a little too chirpy. Morgan Freeman and Sir Ben Kingsley are somewhat wasted on the material, which is a revenge plot fantasy adventure. The cutting is little too frenetic at times. But at least the plot makes sense. As Hollywood hokum, not too bad, really.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The first 15 minutes are funny. Then it gets boring because most of the time the actors and actresses are just talking.
Comment: The first 15 minutes are funny. Then it gets boring because most of the time the actors are just talking. Besides the jokes are repetitive.
