How boring it is to label a movie Tarantino-esque anymore. The thing is, when it comes to an offering like Lucky Number Slevin, the shoe fits, and the result is anything but boring. Gruesome killings, arid wit, self-reflexive pop culture references, an A-list cast, and style-heavy production values abound, which gives the proceedings an epoxy bond that seals the Q.T. homage factor. Josh Hartnett--who spends a lot of buffed-up time with his shirt off--is Slevin Kelevra, a hapless fellow visiting his New York friend Nick. But Nick has disappeared, which sets off a mistaken-identity thrill ride when two goons grab Slevin (he's in Nick's apartment so he must be Nick) and take him to their crime lord boss, the Boss (Morgan Freeman). The Boss doesn't care about Slevin's wrong-man protests; he just wants the $96,000 Nick owes him. In one of many offers he can't refuse, Slevin has to agree to murder the son of the Boss's felonious arch rival, the Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) or take the bullet himself. But Slevin turns out to be no ordinary patsy. Thrown into the ingeniously designed production, clever plot twists, and academic nods to Bond, Hitchcock, and obscure old cartoons are Lucy Liu as a sexy coroner, Stanley Tucci as an obsessed cop, and Bruce Willis as a wily hit man with his finger in many pots. With so much visual and narrative trickery, there's almost too much to absorb in one viewing of this convoluted jigsaw puzzle of revenge and entertaining mayhem. Lucky Number Slevin isn't quite up to par with similarly brainy thrillers like Memento and The Usual Suspects, but the prospect of seeing it again in order to get your bearings is just as appealing.--Ted Fry

Offbeat Twists and Turns October 20, 2008
Lucky Slevin is anything but conventional. As it begins, you are beginning to wonder if this is just another silly character film that goes nowhere. Even good actors (Willis, Freeman) make bad movies, right? But... if you are wiling to hang in there, "Lucky" turns from silly to powerfully focused and the twists are really quite unpredictable. When this one is over you will think, "Boy, better than I ever thought this would be!" Thumbs up!
Excellent crime thriller October 19, 2008
Crime thriller in which a young man called Slevin Kelevra (played by Josh Hartnett) is mistaken for his friend Nick Fisher who owes two crime lords money. The crime lords - The Boss (played by Morgan Freeman) and The Rabbi (played by Ben Kingsley) - both demand payment within days from Slevin or else his life will be forfeit. However The Boss offers Slevin a way out of the debt owed to him: kill The Rabbi's son to avenge his own son's murder (which he believes The Rabbi was responsible for) and that debt will be cancelled. What Slevin does not know is that the two crime lords making demands of him are following the instructions of an enigmatic assassin known only as Goodkat (played by Bruce Willis), who has a mysterious link to Slevin that goes back to a horse race that took place back in 1979. Furthermore, Goodkat is in the process of executing a complex and as yet unrevealed scheme known only as a `Kansas City Shuffle', which Slevin is at the heart of...
Comments: I found this to be a first-rate and stylish crime thriller, with a compelling story at its heart. Josh Hartnett is excellent as the film's main protagonist, Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley are also very good as the two crime lords with their sights both on Hartnett, and Bruce Willis is simply sublime as dispassionate and mysterious assassin Goodkat. Lucy Liu is also good as Slevin's love interest Lindsey, trying to help Slevin deal with his predicament. This film has lots of intelligent banter and lots of surprises: you will enjoy seeing all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place as what the film is about is revealed. There is also a good twist towards the end of the film. This film is violent (but not gratuitously so), and although the film did in my opinion have a few flaws it is nonetheless excellent, with a cast full of A-listers doing their jobs very well. Recommended.
 More Style than Substance? Maybe, But with this Much Style, it doesn't Matter! October 6, 2008

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.
Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number. September 18, 2008

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!
