Quite possibly one of the most complete and finest movies ever made...

.. and I mean that. I remember watching the previews for this movie and expecting some sort of crime caper in the spirit of the movie, "Confidence". How wrong I was. This is a movie for those who loved flicks like, "The Usual Suspects". Yea. It's beyond THAT good.
The film centers around two mob bosses (Morgan Freeman as 'the Boss') and Ben Kingsley as 'the Rabbi), a world class hit-man (Willis), a New York City Cop (Tucci), a cute/talkative neighbor (Lucy Lui), and an unlucky loser named Slevin (Hartnett in his best performance to date).
I am not going to go into it anymore than this. I could go on and on about reason's why, but to be flat honest I would be doing you a disservice. I will never understand Hollywood and why films of this standard are NEVER properly recognized. Like I stated in the opening, I think it was marketed ALL wrong. Kinda of like True Romance when it first came out, it just didn't find it's audience in theaters because like always the wrong people are telling us what we want to watch.
This is easily one of the best movie going experiences I have ever had. It's one of those that you watch as soon as its over. I swear goes right back to the start and you watch it again. It's REALLY this good.
Director Paul McGuigan and writer Jason Smilovic have a VERY bright future ahead of them. Thank you for this movie guys. Thanks a lot.
