STYLISH. HUMOROUS. GUNS WITH SILENCERS !!!


Slevin- "I Think that Mouth Got You that Nose."
" Lucky Number Slevin " is one of those movies that are meant to be taken in by those who appreciate film.
Bruce Willis, Sir Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman, Lucy Liu, Stanley Tucci and Josh Hartnett are the ones that make up the great cast of this movie.
As impressive as Sin City, I might say....
Behind this cast, a bunch of Brittish actors with a very nice american accent.

Slevin is a straight forward, neat black comedy of errors, you know the drill - one gets mixed up for another..The dialogue is at times sharp and intelligent and the action is well shot, a trill for the eyes..There's plenty of action to go around for everyone - the body count climbs steadily as the movie progresses.....

Below the story that the audience is given, there are many subtleties to the story which take a lot to weave into an otherwise dense main plot.
Here we have a story that has many twists and turns, but in the end I ended up focusing more on how the film was made, than what was taking place on the screen.
This could be a negative, if you look at it from the standpoint that the story should be larger than its parts, but it is the " parts " that made it so interesting to me.
Some of the ideas and ideals of the film don't quite succeed in their attempts to create something gr8, but at the same time Lucky Number Slevin does create good entertainment on a major scale, and it is a film that I'm going to want to see a second time.

The film stars Josh Hartnett as a kid mistaken for someone else.
This mistaken identity has put him into a scenario that involves two mob bosses of the same city.

Called before them, they both want something from Hartnett in exchange for waving those debts, and the party begins.


This is really a two-part story though, because we get to see the story from Hartnett, and from hit-man Bruce Willis.
Once again Willis has a gun put in his hands as a worldly assassin going by the name of Mr. Goodkat.
Goodkat is the best in the business, and outside of the main story, we get to see him working, and telling stories about what has set the real story in motion.
It's interesting, because they gave Willis lines that would normally go to a more upscale actor, and not an action star.
There were times that I wasn't on the same page as his character, but I let that slide for now.

Playing the opposing mob bosses are Morgan Freeman and Sir Ben Kingsley in roles that fit them perfectly.
Both are masters of their craft in my opinion, and Kingsley once again floored me with his ability to play a Rabbi in this part.
They both bring interesting side stories to the film, and the power of their personalities brings a lot of power to the story.
In other roles we have Stanley Tucci as lead detective Brikowski, and Lucy Liu as the next door neighbor of the man Hartnett is supposed to be.
Both also bring some interesting intricacies to the story, and help create an atmosphere that is both fun at times, and appallingly dreary at others.
The downtrodden scenes are fully intended, and Director Paul McGuigan gets a little bit of extra credit from me for the way that he uses all of his actors in the film.
" Lucky Number Slevin " becomes much more than it could have been because of this and the added camera directionthat was intertwined into the plotlines.

電話 Lucky Number Slevin: DEAD on at All Times...

星 Lucky # Slevin was set in New York City. 星
Most of the scenes took places inside apartments or other buildings, so there really wasn't time to show any of the well known landmarks around the city.
People that have been there and are familiar with the city may recognize something.

There were some unique looking sets used for the movie.
The different apartments, and even a few hallways that were shown, were covered in the ugliest wallpapers I think I have ever seen in my life.
The different wallpapers in Nick's apartment alone were hideous and just when I thought it couldn't get worse, something else was shown.
Wallpaper can look nice.
This was just ugly.
Every time I saw it I was distracted by how ugly it was.
I didn’t like the movie any less because of that, but I did find it a bit distracting.....


There were many characters in Lucky Number Slevin.
Some of them were much more important and developed than others.
Slevin was the main character and ended up in most of the movie.
He was in New York to visit a childhood friend who was missing.
Slevin was in several dangerous and unusual situations throughout the movie and was able to keep his cool.
He was able to think fast, which helped him more than once.
He did have a habit of saying some things that managed to tick people off.
Even though he was the most developed character, a lot about him remained unknown.
I've never been a fan of Josh Hartnett and really have only seen him in one or two movies.
He was really GOOD as Slevin.

I really wish I could say more about this movie but I would be ruining it for you.
I will say that I also enjoyed director Paul McGuigan's style throughout the movie and will be paying closer attention to movies that he makes.
His style isn't reallyit is however effective.

Overall, I recommend Lucky Number Slevin.
If youaction packed movies, gun fire, catchy dialogue and cinema style then this is one to definitely rent on a Friday night.
So, with such an all but perfect combination of ingredients, Lucky # Slevin provides its audience with a genuine rarity : an intelligent, well-acted, directed and photographed film, with an attention-grabbing plot line, twists and turns galore, and an ending that no one would ever have thought of that leaves absolutely nothing untied, and neatly brings a terrific caper to a satisfying, and smile-inducing close (and there's that wallpaper too! ).
Most heartily recommended to all. ウィンク


Lucky, indeed !! A Great Accomplishment.
