Review of Lucky Number Slevin (2006) by William C — 28 Jan 2015

Grade:Low 8/10.

Lucky Number Slevin is a film that contains a bunch of elements that a.

Gangster film needs, and also a dash of comedy that brings it all well.

Together. With a big cast of familiar faces and performances to match.

Really, I really would recommend this, if not only to prove the critics.

Wrong who don't like this film. I felt this film was safely very good,.

And here is why below.

The story is serious at most times but also doesn't mind being comedic.

And this makes it much more fun as you really get more interested in.

The plot. It starts to get complicated towards the end but in a good.

Way actually as the whole mystery and shocks that go on are revealed in.

A simple and easy way. It contains fun moments too, unpredictable and.

Throws a few curveballs it just makes a very good piece of.

Entertainment.

Joh Hartnell in the main role is good, maybe not the best that could.

Have been done of this role but he works it well, Morgan Freeman and.

Ben Kingsley as the two mob bosses are good as well but yet again they.

Never seem to do the role as well as it COULD be done, although it is.

Steady going by all three. I did however think Lucy Liu fitted her role.

Very well and portrayed a character that you didn't know much about.

Really.

It is written well and the script is the probably the strongest thing.

About this entire project. Directed well too the more technical side of.

This deals it's strongest cards and is why I rate as I have, the sets.

Though are dizzying and never seem to fit what is going on, or any.

Serious note the film is trying to find, but they don't ruin this films.

Credibility.

Apart from the sets the main problem with the movie is that It wraps.

Itself around itself in a sense and becomes very confusing at times,.

Mostly is isn't but it happens at certain parts which niggle down it's.

Rating. I said about the acting which I did say wasn't bad but what I.

Will say is that Bruce Willis completely wastes his talent in this with.

A bad performance that somehow never fits in with this piece.

Those who like a good old action and mysterious plot should enjoy this.

As that is exactly what it turns out to be by the end and can be hugely.

Enjoyable. It isn't the best of gangster film but could serve to please.

A fan of that type of film with it's two rival crime families, although.

The comedy may take some gangster film fans away from this one.

Overall I give this a low 8/10, it is a Safely Very Good movie but maybe not.

Quite enough to be rated as Great. With this you seriously have to.

Ignore the critics who don't like this because it is hugely enjoyable.

If you just watch it straight, enjoy the curves it throws at you and.

You will pleased by it hugely, If you start to look into this well then.

You may feel it isn't quite up to scratch with others like this movie.
