Josh Hartnett as a hapless maverick in this twisting suspenser that is not to be missed.

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2007)

What a find. You've got Josh Hartnett as a hapless maverick in this twisting suspenser that is not to be missed: if you liked "The Usual Suspects" and "Confidence", you're gonna absolutely love "Lucky # Slevin". It grabs your attention right away, keeps you engaged, has you completely hooked and then puts you away with a climax you couldn't see coming without a crystal ball -- though, in hindsight, the foreshadowing was right there for you. The supporting cast kills. Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley are wonderful as cold-blooded crime lords. Lucy Liu continues to show strong range Hartnett's perky, impromptu gumshoe of a love interest (they must be paying her the ranch to mark time as one of those lead bimbos in the "Charley's Angels" franchise) . And there's Bruce Willis who, true, has never shown a great of range, but works very well here as the low-key, wildcard catalyst. Plus Stanley Tucci and a Robert Forster cameo. You can't go wrong with this one.
