Lucky Number Slevin (2006) 7/10

Starring : Josh Hartnett, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley, Lucy Liu, Stanley Tucci, Bruce Willis
Director : Paul McGuigan
Running Time : 110 mins

Slevin Kelevra (Hartnett) is mistaken for someone he’s visiting and finds himself caught up in a gang war that could cost him his life when one crime boss (Freeman) asks him to kill the son of another crime boss (Kingsley) or suffer the consequences, but Slevin has some secrets of his own, which he is reluctant to reveal.

This wasn’t the best crime movie ever made, but it’s fast pacing more than makes up for that and keeps you guessing to the very end. Despite being filled with clichés and expected twists and turns, this is still an appealing movie with some reasonable, though not spectacular, performances.
