Review of Lucky Number Slevin (2006) by Dann M — 03 Feb 2013
Lucky Number Slevin is a smart and thrilling noir crime drama. After falling victim to a case of mistaken identity, Slevin gets caught up in a rivalry between two competing New York crime lords. The cast is impressive, featuring strong performances from Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman, and Bruce Willis.
The storytelling is also especially good, and does a brilliant job building intrigue and unfolding the mystery as to who Slevin is and why he's being sought after. However, the dialog is a bit too clever for its own good and comes off as a bit rehearsed and artificial.
Lucky Number Slevin has some rough edges, but it's entertaining and has a compelling story that's full of mystery.
