The Revenge of....

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2007)

I never hear a thing about "Lucky Number Slevin" until some weeks ago when i saw the DVD, this quickly gain my attention specially because of the great cast: Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Ben Kinsley and Josh Harnett, and also because it was in offer so i buy the DVD. I didn't know what to expect because if Hollywood have teach us something is that "big names" doesn't always mean "great films". Finally i saw this film last night and really love it.
The plot is about Slevin (Harnett), who is confuse with his friend Nick Fisher who owes money to two of the most important crime bosses in NY: The Boss (Freeman) and the Rabbi (Kingsley), that also are big enemies. Now Slevin most deal with this two dangerous crime bosses.
I really like the plot, is one of those that keeps you alert in all the film and have excellent characters. And of course, the excellent climax, that i'm not going to say, is really good and reminds me the film "Oldboy", because you can't understand every little detail until the end.
I really don't understand why a lot of persons put that this was very confused because in the end all the details are very well explained and also there are some flashback so for me it was very clear.
About the cast: is just great, the two seniors (Freeman and Kingsley) are, like always, great. Harnett is becoming one of those actors who chose really good films and in this one is really good and Lucy Liu is an excellent actress and also very beautiful. But my favourite role is the one of Bruce Willis, excellent character for all that represent for Slevin and Willis is great.
Conclusion: this film is not very know in Mexico and it wasn't successful in the box office but i think is just an excellent one so the people that works for "Lucky Number Slevin" most be really happy with the result. And is one of the most enjoyable films of the year 2006.
DVD: as i said, i buy this DVD in offer and i'm really happy about that.Just luck. Contain interviews with the cast and behind the scenes. Great like the film. PS: the Mexican title for this film is "Asesino a Sueldo" that means "Contract Killer"; i don't understand why.
