Review of Lucky Number Slevin (2006) by Eitan G — 03 Jan 2016
There may be no doubt that Slevin is a film loaded to the hilt with over-confident stylistic qualities, but it is not at the loss of substance. Ultimately the complicated story line is translated via fantastically clear and kinetic direction that keeps events interesting, intriguing and entertaining.
Some perfect casting choices leave Hartnett and Liu as an unexpectedly engaging on screen couple with oodles of entertainment value on offer just from their off-ball scripted conversations. For some this may be an overly convoluted affair, but for those wanting a film that keeps you guessing, interested and entertained, you can not really do much better.
The pay off is great, the characters engaging, what is not to love?
