Lucky # Slevin (DVD, 2006, Widescreen Edition)

We loved this movie!

The plot if plausible enough that you are not left feeling like there is no way that this could happen to a person (mistaken identity). In fact, it is so believable you are left feeling as though this kind of thing could happen to you. The "what would you do if this were you" feeling keeps this movie going through the end.

The main characters are excellent. This is a great cast. Josh Hartnett is amazing in this movie. A very thoughout and powerful - from this actor.

The plot twists in this movie keeps the viewer guessing until the end. You jay have your suspicions, but nothing is ever as it seems. The ending of the movie pulls all the loose ends together and ties up the story quite nicely.

This is by far the best movie we've seen in the last 3-6 months.

Josh Hartnett and Bruce Willis star in Lucky Number Slevin, a cinematically stylish crime thriller with so many twists, you'll feel like sweet swizzle candy by the time it's all over. Josh's character, Slevin, is continually mistaken for his friend, Nick. The mob is after him, the cops are after him, at every turn there is someone out to get this guy 'Nick'. Inter-mixed within the great action sequences, Slevin finds time to develop a romance with Lindsey, smartly played by Lucy Liu.

I recommend this movie for its twists & turns, you won't be able to figure it out. All through the odd pacing of the movie, I kept asking the movie screen "why did he do that?" over & over again, but hubby didn't seem phased by the sequence of flashbacks and flashforwards. I'm not sure if it's a gender-based difference or not. The movie can be more than a little violent at times, I wouldn't recommend this movie for sensitive viewers. This movie will be fun for avid movie buffs though, as Director Paul McGuigan subtley pays homage to several scenes and characters from movie classics.

If you like crime thrillers and movies that you can't figure out in advance, you'll enjoy Lucky Number Slevin. We have the wide-screen edition of the DVD and it makes a difference in this film. Most enjoyable, if you like things a little quirky.

An identity mix-up places an innocent man in the middle of a mob war
in this cynical in mood crime thriller. While checking out his missing
friend Nick s apartment, Slevin (Josh Hartnett) is mistaken for Nick by
thugs. Just how much trouble is Nick really in! Slevin finds out when he
is forced to participate in a high profile murder for two powerful crime
bosses-which are directly opposed to each other (Ben Kingsley and Morgan
Freeman). Bruce Willis also stars as a behind the scene hit man that is
leading Slevin towards a very surprising ending to the movie. You must
really pay attention to this movie to really gain the utmost as it twists
and turns in every direction. A good movie for a night entertainment and
very good acting in various parts by all the stars.

I honestly had never heard of this movie...as much as I love the actors and seen them in other films...this was recommended to me from a Blockbuster employee...This movie has twits and turns...great camera work...it's funny...it has a little love story...it's got blood...anyway...GO RENT IT! IF you like the actors and you LOVE action and a GREAT story...you will love this movie...actually I watched it TWICE in 24 hours :)

In this movie Lucky Number Slevin you have a poor soul who gets himself involved and in the middle of the MOB. Josh Hartnett plays that poor soul and does an awesome job. It starts out when he is grabbed by the MOB (in only a towel!) and brought the MOB boss who is played by Morgan Freeman. You have great action and Comedy too in this movie. A great cast of characters from Bruce Willis, Lucy Lu, Josh Hartnett and Morgan Freeman. I can't wait for this to be released on DVD!

Loved this film, plently of twists and turns in the plot. Great suspense chocked full of suprises, action and talented stars. Simply Excelent, Must See 5 stars *****

Lots of plot, this movie will take you for a ride. Just the way I like it, this is a great movie to watch over and over again!!

I love this movie. The editing truly shapes the movie, Alowing you to move back and forth in time and situations, weaving together the pieces a little bit at the time until it reaches a perfect payoff. All the parts ties together with beautiful harmony. And the wallpaper is so loud you can hear it!

Not to often do I get to watch a movie that will keep me guessing throughout the whole movie. Most people can somewhat figure out the ending of a movie half way through it. As I started to watch this movie, it kept me guessing throughout. I loved how at the begining you thought that Josh Hartnets character was just some very unlucky fool. As the movie progresses, his character starts to have a moment of good luck when he gets to hook up with a very attractive neighbor, but then he starts to get sucked back into his misfortune of mistaken identity. What I especially loved about the movie was the last little bit, when Josh and Bruce Willis get to reveal the truth about who they really are. It is that moment when they are telling their story, that the scenes at the begining of the movie start to make sense. I would highly recommend that any one who has not seen this movie, go see it immediately. It is definately worth the price of a movie rental.

This is my kind of movie . Action right from the get go .
Plus it has one of my favorite actors of all time in it.
Bruce Willis.
Bruce ( Mr. Goodcat), starts out telling the story to some stranger in the bus station .He starts from telling him about a horse ,bets,bookies and people getting killed.I'll not give all the parts of the story.
Then we Meet Slevin ( Josh Hartnett) , He is the dude who is in the wrong place at the wrong time !He plays his role well He ends up in a feud between two mob bosses. Which are played by Morgan Freeman (THE BOSS) and Ben Kingsley ( The Rabbi). They at one time used to be partners.but now are enemys that live directly in front of each other in different buildings and never leave their buildings for fear of their lives.
Well Slevin is mistaken for his friend , who owes these dudes some money it seems. and it all goes down hill from there. Only good thing is that he meets his friends next door neighbor played by (Lucy Liu). We find out later she is a coroner. Well he becomes smitten with her. He is also dealing with all the Mob boss stuff. Becasue his friend owes THe Boss $960000 ,The Boss wants him to Kill the Rabbi's Gay son for repayment of the money. The Boss thinks that the Rabbi killed his son a few days before.
Ohh what a tangled web we weave. This movie also shows that Our past can indeed come back to haunt us .
It kept me on the edge of my seat ! waiting and wondering what was going to happen next. Twists and turns and killing and blood. So many different doors open and shut. It is one of the best movies I have seen ALL YEAR.
I highly recommend you buy this movie and watch it .

I enjoyed this movie to the max Found no fault in it at all.

I give it a Excellent Rating !

I am sure you will too!

Thanks for reading my review

This is a tricky one!! You have to really pay attention or you will get lost.
the actors a great but the story is kind of strange!! All in all it wasn't a bad movie -- does have some action it it -- keeps you wondering!!

I just finished watching this movie and I must say, that this is the best movie I've seen in a long time. If you haven't seen it and you like surprises then you will love this movie. I don't think there is a way to say what I would like to say without giving the movie away so I won't. I wasn't really paying attention through the entire movie but man oh man is the end good. Things aren't always what they seem and I love a good shocking surprise in a movie. This has a few, quite a few. I hope you go buy it and enjoy it as much as I did. I'm about to watch it again and its 3:11am!

This is a great movie, has quite a few big actors in it that do an A+++++ job and i bought this movie because i did not own it yet and it was a pretty good deal.

Josh Hartnett, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, and Stanley Tucci are all great in this flick. Great ending to a movie that will always keep u involved and thinking.

its was a pretty interesting movie. i liked it. great actors and actresses in it. you have to pay attention in order to follow the movie.

I bought it because it was cheap. And the movies like its price. Their were some parts of it that were okay but i'm sure they were all in the previews as when the movie first came out. My boyfriend enjoyed it alot but most guys love movies like this so MEN! Here ya go!

Good price, new item, a friend recommended the movie. Would buy from you again. A+ transaction. Pleasant transaction and fast delivery.

I mean, not much to say here. They got it to me an a timely fashion. Good stuff. I don't have any complaints.

Great film, lots of mystery and questioning. Hopefully you dont get up in the middle of it because you are promised to miss something that wont make any sense later. Handfull of great actors Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu.

This movie is well acted (with Bruce Willis, Sir Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman you should expect nothing less),well written and holds your interest from beginning to end. If you pay attention you may have some idea what is going on before the flashbacks/explanations at the end but more than likely you will have a suprise or two in store. There is violence, some blood, and cold-blooded, premeditated murder. As was said in one of the Star Trek movies "revenge is a dish best served cold". This is not Mr. Willis' best but it will do.

The beginning seems a little weird and until the end you won't get the plot.Interesting to keep track of all that is happening.It will keep your interest tho.

great movie, seller shipped in a timely manner and made good contact and had a trustable history, bid with confidence,

action packed good movie kinda keeps you wondering until the very end. i honestly love this movie i recomend buying or renting to watch it
