Lucky Number Slevin Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdoo5d agoDespite some hunches, this twisting entanglement keeps you guessing. Well laid out with unique design and a deep cast.
- DarlingInThePlexxJune 10, 2025A style-forward neo‑noir thriller that somehow blends Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels pacing with Hitchcockian plotting—and it works. Josh Hartnett lands in deep when mistaken for his friend, swept into a murder‑for‑hire scheme between two crime bosses. What follows is a stylish, twisty ride of mistaken identity and revenge. The cast? • Josh Hartnett anchors the film with charm and just enough vulnerability . • Lucy Liu plays Lindsey, the Bond‑loving neighbor who dragged me back into the plot more than once . • Bruce Willis turns up as Goodkat—a slick assassin with more depth than you’d expect . • Sir Ben Kingsley is The Rabbi, the calm but ruthless antagonist you won’t forget . • Morgan Freeman is equally formidable as The Boss, with chess‑board calm . • Stanley Tucci even pops in as Detective Brikowski. The dialogue crackles with Tarantino-lite wit, the set design is obsessively textured (seriously, they were robbed at awards), and you’ll get those slick, fast-paced cuts mixed with Hollywood flair. Plus there are enough twists—and a few laughs—to keep you hooked. Final note: Slevin is a sleeper, so if it flew under your radar, give it a watch—you’ll probably say, “Why didn’t this blow up more?” Tags: 🔫 Neo‑Noir Thrills, 🎩 Slick Aesthetic, 🕴️ Star‑Studded Cast, 🧠 Plot Twists, 🔁 Mistaken Identity
