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

Rating:  - Great Movie with many twists
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.
Rating:  - Light entertainment
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.
Rating:  - The first 15 minutes are funny. Then it gets boring because most of the time the actors and actresses are just talking.
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.
Rating:  - Trying hard to be cool.
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 ... Read More

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.
