Movie Reviews of Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Surprised by the plot.....or how I love the "Kansas City Shuffle"
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this video to supplement my collection of HDDVD movies.
I did not know much about the movie, other than it had a decent cast in Morgan Freeman, Sir Ben Kingsley, Bruce Willis, Josh Hartnett, and Lucy Liu.
I don't read movie synopsis, so that at least there MAY be a surprise for me.
This movie did not disappoint.
It started off with a bang and then rolled into a nice tale unusual for today's Hollywood.
It won't disappoint!
Summary of Lucky Number Slevin (Widescreen Edition)
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 FrySet 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: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 796019794817 Manufacturer No: 79481
