Another one of those post-Tarantino, post-Ritchie, insufferable Boondock Saints-esque features that you completely forget having watched within a couple of years.

This is almost like a Sesame Street "Which one of these doesn't belong?" skits. You've got the always excellent Morgan Freeman, the coolest man alive Bruce Willis, amazing character actors Forster and Aiello, the genius of Tucci and Kingsley, and you've got dead eyed Josh Hartnett. This is easily his most likable role and not just because he gets punched in the face twelve minutes into it.

I liked the ideas behind the plot twists at the end of the film, but not only did those twists vitiate the character development, but the script contained the most circuitous contrivances in order to execute them, including the most ineptly-executed false protagonist I've ever seen. The "snappy" dialog just sounds trite and samey, and it doesn't help that every character in the film has the exact same diction.

I thought this movie was suprisingly good. I didn't really expect it to be this good.. What suprised me espacially was the humour in this film. I really loved the conversations, it reminded me of pulp fiction sometimes. And I watched this movie 4 times now, and I really don't find any mistake in it. Great!

Better than Josh Hartnett's normal movies but that's not saying much. I have to point out that Lucy Liu was tremendously out of place and I guess I'm the only one on the planet who thinks that she does look her age, which is 10 years older than the Harnett. With that said it's a pretty fun thriller film as it's got some great humourous moments and a pretty decent reveal at the end, though let's be honest the reveal was only a reveal due to artificially keeping the audience in the dark.

A fantastic final act (that isn't near as unpredictable as it would like to think it is) can't make up for an absolutely terrible first hour. I was very tempted to turn the movie off after 40mins -- it was clumsy, it tried too hard to be witty, and I just didn't give a damn about any of the characters. I realize the movie needs most of the plot points of the opening act for the pay-off to work, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have been pulled off much better.

An exciting movie to watch, though it's a little on the predictable side. I liked the dialogue but hated Lucy Liu's shoe-horned in love interest, and I didn't really buy most of the character arcs at all, like what was Bruce Willis' motivation to do what he did? Some world class assassin.

I'm not sure whether it ran out of steam or if it just didn't quite click properly, but it ended up removing the element I enjoyed in its first half in favor of a more serious final half. I was having a lot of fun, for a while, but once the film ended, I took a step back and realized how large a shift in tone there had been. The humor was gone, replaced with an actual thriller; and the thriller that we got wasn't all that interesting or clever, especially in terms of its plot.

Great performances all round and a well done story make this film a must watch. It does, however, make you wonder whether Willis shouldn't do more of these dark-type films, I certainly think so. Definitely looking forward to more Paul McGuigan films, although he is not the greatest director, his works do bring that action vibe that you need once in a while.

"Lucky Number Slevin" is completely style over substance and Smilovic tries way too hard to channel his inner-Tarantino. Even with all of its flaws, I was totally hooked and entertained by every single second. Each cast member nails their part with plenty of style and were obviously having as much fun acting as I was watching.

A piece of finely crafted cinema it is not, but let that be the only disclaimer you need. This is a quite light, entertaining thing that you could stick in the "maybe" pile of date nights at home. A tale of violence and vengeance nicely offset by some quirky characters in Liu and Hartnett. If you doze off a little or get distracted by some canoodling, fear not, it is also a forgiving movie that sums things up and explains itself all quite clearly.

This movie wastes no time in getting you involved in the story, while also making you wonder what in the world is going on. It's a clever movie full of mystery and twists. Some of the twists may not be too surprising depending on how good you are at seeing them, but even then the movie keeps you interested with the interesting dialogue, action, and humor. I hadn't really heard of this movie when it came out, but I'm glad I gave it a watch.

Yeah ok. It had it moments, The story and scenery were totally kick ass. But it certainly wasn't great. I dont get all the brouhaha surrounding this film Ok the story was clever, the script witty (at times) and the acting slightly above average, but thats is. It certainly didn't have any amazing twists or action scenes or whatever in it. Personally, the best thing about this one was seeing the always gorgeous lucy liu again. Entertaining movie, but no masterpiece.
