Great Movie with many twists September 7, 2008
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.

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.

The first 15 minutes are funny. Then it gets boring because most of the time the actors and actresses are just talking. August 26, 2008

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.

Trying hard to be cool. August 13, 2008

Lucky Number Slevin is like a kid who tries to ape his "cooler" elder brother, not realizing he has good qualities of his own. He ends up ignoring those qualities that would differentiate him from his older sibling in his pursuit to follow the footsteps, which he fails miserably.

Let's get it out of the way. This Josh Hartnett vehicle is a trying hard Tarantino/Nolan movie and it doesn't have the wit and craftiness of both. The dialogues are achingly corny and trite which reminds one of The Sphinx's lines in "Mystery Men". It's trying hard to be funny and tries to inject geek-cred by tossing in obscure references, in my mind, at inopportune times. It's as if the writer Jason Smilovic tries to put in all he knows or showing off his arcane knowledge of pop culture.

Structure-wise, despite all the twists, it's all predictable. The opening sequence clearly telegraphs the denouement. After that, we have faux-comedic first half that's incongruous with the grim and dark resolution.

The redeeming value in Lucky Number Slevin is the strong visual style in art direction and production design. That alone made me want to listen to the director's commentary. Interestingly he's candid about his work and its faults. From that honesty alone, it saved this DVD from the lowest rating.

Buy it if you're impressed by the art direction and technical aspects of the film. Don't buy it if you're expecting insights on storytelling, dialogue writing or fresh plotting.

Good movie, but format that Amazon claims as DTS Surround in incorrect. When I received my copy it was Dolby 5.1. Not a huge deal, but I prefer DTS and expect it when its advertised.
