Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: 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

Considering that people like Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) and Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) aren't making movies like this any more, I don't need to tell you how absolutely REFRESHING it is to see that SOMEONE STILL IS.... The incredibly stylized production (a la Scott's set design in Alien/Blade Runner) was in full force and effect here. The incredibly excellent PLOT (another element sorely missing from many of today's movies) plus an especially talented cast, turn this into an A-list piece of material. ... Read More

Good action, black humor, and interesting casting are dragged down by an overly convoluted and totally unbelievable plot. The movie is watchable enough but at the end you're saying, yeah, sure, whatever. Missed being good.

MAN #1: "Is this a GOOD movie?"
MAN #2: "By a GOOD movie, do you mean a NOT BAD movie?"
MAN #1: "If I would've meant a NOT BAD movie, then I wouldn't have asked if this is a GOOD movie."
MAN #2: "Don't you agree that a GOOD movie has to be a NOT BAD movie?"
MAN #1: "So this is both a GOOD movie and a NOT BAD movie?"
MAN #2: "With "witty" dialogue like this pasted throughout it, this is neither a GOOD nor a NOT BAD movie."
MAN #1: "So is this a movie that SUCKS?"

My friend and I were recommended this movie to watch and finally they got one right. This movie starred the ever delightful Josh Harnett and was an excellent film that had action, drama, mystery, suspense and thrills.
I was sad when this movie ended because it was so good!
Rating: -
Incredible cast, great acting, complex storyline, you won't expect what happens. Lots of action, some laugh out loud lines. I was stunned by how good this movie is. It stays with you also. Right up there with The Usual Suspects if you can believe that.
