An absolutely incredible film.

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2006)

When I checked the ratings, I couldn't believe "Lucky Number Slevin" only got a 7.4. This one was of the best movies I've seen in a long long time, and definitely one of the best scripts written in the past five years. With amazing plot twists and enthralling performances by Hartnett, Kingsley, Freeman, Liu, and Willis, I would definitely recommend this well thought out and incredibly put together film to anyone.
The beginning of the film is slightly confusing, but comes together at the end incredibly. I must say, I didn't see the end coming whatsoever. The violence was absolutely perfect- not over dramatic, and every bit of it was necessary with the perfect amount of gore.
Monologues from Kigsley and Freeman spice up the dialog, and Hartnett plays a very good, witty, smart-ass character. I couldn't have picked anyone better for any of the roles. Definitely see this one.
