Lucky Number Slevin is a Tarantino and Guy Ritchie wannabe film. It isn’t as clever or smart as it thinks, you can predict the twist half way through it’s story telling. BUT, but it's a slick, entertaining movie.
It got solid cast including Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley and Stanley Tucci. And Josh Hartnett makes a surprisingly great lead, loved his chemistry with Lucy Liu.

Drop all the crime stuff, make it a romantic comedy with Josh Hartnett and Lucy Liu, and you've got an okay movie

The twist in this movie was actually pretty crazy. If you haven’t seen lucky number slevin, I strongly suggest you do. Your brain gets totally reworked over the course of the film. The acting was phenomenal, but I think you can expect that with the big names. I really don’t have many complaints. No doubt this movie is insane.

Me: I wonder if this movie I really liked when I was 19 still holds up or if I still like it?

Me, 25 minutes in: Yup.

Josh Hartnett is really good in this, it moves super quick, and LUCY LIU is so delightful.

Stylish crime thriller with a top notch cast led by Josh Harnett(also one of his better roles). In a film with Morgan Freeman(one of my alltime favorites), Ben Kingsley, Stanley Tucci, and Bruce Willis...Harnett is the one who shines the brightest as the witty, smooth talking guy who gets tangled up with crime bosses and an highly efficient assassin due to mistaken identity. After Harnett, Lucy Liu stood out the most for me as the very inquisitive neighbor who tries to help Harnett figure out his dilemma. The chemistry between the two is great. There's a somewhat predictable twist but it didn't take anything away from the film. Fun watch.

“Lucky Number Slevin” has nearly all the ingredients of an entertaining movie. It has an awesome cast, fascinating characters, well written and funny dialogs, great humor, bloody action, and an engaging story full of exciting twists. The last 30 minutes are mind-blowing.
I have no complaints. “Lucky Number Slevin” is a lot of fun.

A tawdry emulation of the Tarantino/Ritchie crime movies of the 90s that is so smug and proud of itself that it's hard not to hate it. It has a great cast, that it mostly wasted. It has good photography, but there is an air of cheapness that flows through it. Maybe it's the unconvincing period scene at the front of the film. Maybe it's the set design that is 90% loud wallpaper. Maybe it's the fact that this is set in a weird version of NYC where everyone's past intersects in some fashion. It makes one of the world's mega-cities feel smaller than my elementary school.

At any rate, it's predictable, which is a death sentence for a movie as plotty as this. It's somewhat infuriating that the last 15 minutes are devoted to a "How They Did It" sequence when, I am fairly certain, most who watch this will already know the answers.

7.0/10

Very twisty crime thriller, good but not great. Neat plot but the characters aren't much to care about.

Lucy Liu doesn’t deserve such a basic role in such a dated movie

A pretty entertaining little action romp. There's a lot going on in the plot that ties up fairly nice in the end. I only knock it for trying a little too hard to be clever at certain points, a minor plot hole or two, and an awkward romance plot. Still very enjoyable, taking a few pages from things like The Usual Suspects.

I liked it. The plot is intricate and intriguing, and I liked the characters. It comes from director Paul McGuigan, with Jason Smilovic, who was on the writing team for Todd Phillips' War Dogs, providing the screenplay. I think the writing is clever, sometimes falling in on itself, but it generally holds up as an entertaining joyride. I thought Josh Hartnett was solid alongside the universally revered Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman, Bruce Lee, and the brilliant Lucy Liu.

this might be one of if not my favorite movie of all time. the cast was awesome and the acting was great but the story is phenomenal. it’s so different and unlike anything i’ve seen. and the twist ending may have been my most favorite of all time, i love it

watched this beautiful film with the most beautiful person on earth today and loved it even more than I previously did which was seemingly impossible given that it's literally one of my fav films ever and now it's my fav film ever in the history of film.

Damn. This was such a Kansas City Shuffle.

It's crazy & debatable but overall a fun time

Fun!

Me recuerda a Memento de Christopher Nolan, con su guión sostenido por constantes giros dramáticos, uno más enredado que el otro, y plagado de la misma cantidad de agujeros narrativos que un queso ruger. Su forma hiperbólica es típica a la época, copiando el estilo gangsteril, videoclipero, con delincuentes estúpidos. de prácticas barriobajeras, sanguinarios y con un recatado sentido de la moda, de Guy Ritchie.

lucy you deserve so much better
