"Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number."

Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
Directed by Paul McGuigan, rated R, 110 minutes

Lucky Number Slevin is a clever and lively crime thriller about a man, Slevin, who, after a case mistaken identity, ends up in the middle of a mob war between the city's two biggest crime bosses. The dialogue is very sharp and witty, and even when it sometimes tries a little too hard to be hip, the excellent cast, including Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis and Josh Hartnett, saves it. The story has plenty of twists and turns so, despite its familiar story, it's still fun and rather unpredictable. The film was clearly influenced by Tarantino's style, but Lucky Number Slevin is more than mere imitation because of the plot's memorable twists and some lovable characters. You'll like it if: You like crime thrillers, crime comedies, neo-noir films, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Pulp Fiction or The Usual Suspects.
