Lucky Number Slevin

Have you seen Sin City? great. Have you seen Saw? great. And Pulp Fiction? cool. What about Leon? excellent. And finally, how about The Shawshank Redemption? very well.
So we've all seen those classics. Now go grab the proverbial blender, stick all those films in, and pour out the gooey mess. Add to that mess some big names, like The Freeman, Ben Kingsley, and Bruce Willis, and finally give them a cracking script and a very clever story.

The result? A master-piece called Lucky Number Slevin. I saw this film at the cinema today and it really is mind blowing. In trendy film noir style (becoming very popular this isn't it?), with enough violence to shame Sin City, Slevin tells the story of a man by that name that finds himself being mistaken as someone else by some very angry (and at war!) gangs. Within hours he has to not only assassinate someone, but pay off a big debt.

As stylish as Pulp Fiction, as breath taking as Leon, and as satisfying as Shawshank, this movie will really have you on the edge of your seat till the very last second. It's bloodily and graphically violent, but if you can stomach that then you're in for a beautiful treat. A must see movie by all accounts, 5 out of 5 sobstars.

And where does Saw fit in to all of this? well remember the last minute of Saw when you finally put all the pieces together and found out who really was The Jigsaw? if you thought that was clever, wait until you see Slevin, and find out who not only Slevin is, but who another 5 people are. It's that amazing.

Go see it. Please.
