Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Lucky Number Slevin is a surprise of a film- It takes from the best, namely Hitchcock and Tarantino in its approach to writing and directing and boy is it a ride. Keeping things unpredictable and breezy Lucky Number Slevin is a riot of a movie. The acting from everyone from Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Lui to old veterans like Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley is great- you know they're all having fun. You should too- go see it.

I recently watched this film for the third or fourth time and after re-watching it wondered why it had taken me so long to sit down to enjoy it once again.This film is fantastic! It begins with just the right level of confusion/mystery, and once the pieces start falling methodically in to place you can't help but be captivated with how well all of it was put together. The story is good, and the characters - all quirky in their own right - are interesting and appealing.An incredible film that I would highly recommend!

A complete mess in all production levels. Quite the let down

I remember the trailer for "Lucky Number Slevin", some sort of hit-man movie with some "Ocean's Eleven" style and humor thrown in. The real shocker is that it's absolutely nothing like that. There are hit men involved as well as some humor sprinkled here and there (primarily in the beginning) but it's much more of a gangster/crime movie. The kind of story that keeps you guessing (although, for anyone paying attention, the twist is pretty evident early on).What's disappointing is how seriously it plays the subject matter. For all of the eccentric characters introduced, and the humorous dialog in the first act, it really needed that levity maintained throughout. Once that comic tone disappears, it's a lot less interesting.To its credit, the late-hour twists don't feel cheap like I was expecting them to. But I feel like I've seen this story before. And a great deal of it is oddly lifeless.5/10
