Review of Lucky Number Slevin (2006) by Four Star F — 31 May 2013
When you see the stars and get a hint of what it is about Lucky Number Slevin seems like it could actually be really good. To be frank this film did not do it for me. It was set up to be a clever thriller/mystery with a solid starring cast.
The plot was a little incomprehensible, the dialogue was unimpressive, the characters lacked depth, and at times I could not figure out if it was trying to be funny or serious. There were several cultural references such as Lil Abner, James Bond, and North by Northwest, but they were not used very effectively within the confines of the film.
It seems like this is trying to be a Pulp Fiction lookalike with the same vibe as Tarrantino. Unfortunately it does not really work out so well. On a positive note I will say that the ending was decent.
