Lucky Number Slevin on DVD (2006)

Adrian from Lancaster, England , 27/02/2006

The film opens with 2 bookies being shot at the races, after a tip off about a horse. Then we are believed that Sleven finds his wife in bed with another man, he is then bannished from his flat, and so goes to stay at his friend Nicks apartment, but outside he is mugged and gets his nose broken, all in all I would say he is having a bad day.

Things then go from bad to worse, when 2 men turn up looking for Nick and mistaken Sleven for him, they take Sleven to the Crime Boss, where Morgon Freeman tells him he is owed £96K, or alternatively he is to kill the Rabbi's son, the rival crime boss from accross the street, he then arrives back at the flat and 2 more chaps turn up and cart him off to see the Rabbi, he is then told he owes £30k to him, now when all this is going on we see Bruce in the background but until the end we don't really know what part he plays in it.

The film has more twists and turns than 'The Big One' and is a very slick thriller, full of guns shots, and clever editing, the acting is great and the film is very entertaining if not a little souless as you never really get in to the characters mind. All in all I would recommend you watch this on DVD. would give this 3 and a half stars, really.

This film is what cinema (and home cinema) was made for, it has everything, great casting, interesting plot and a few nice twists. It really zips along. This is a classy piece of film that you will want to rent... then buy, to have in your collection. You can't lose - this should be your special friday night film. Give it a go You will not be dissapointed.

I must admit to being a little fussy when it comes to plots - if a film is a thriller with twists, it needs to genuinely leave me feeling blown away.

This movie does just that, awesome.

The best I've watched for a long time.

What a great film, a better twist then Fight Club, with some great acting, especially off of Josh Hartnett, I don't really know what to put in this review that won't ruin the film for you, but anything with Morgan Freeman is worth a watch, Lucy Lu is great to look at, and the plot is amazing. The long and short of it, is this is a clever film, well worth a view!

Very bad film, painful at times Iand leaves me baffled that the film has got high ratings from other reviewers. The plot is thin, obvious throughout and the 'big reveal' at the end was not needed because the film was very self explanatory. Bruce Willis was good in another cameo like performace but it must go down as another stinker for Josh Hartnett.

Sorry to be over critical but this film needs to be avoided. A very painful attempt at the over used gangster genre.
