Movie Review - Lucky Number Slevin

Take an excellent big name cast. Sir Ben Kingsley (Sneakers, Ghandi), Morgan Freeman (Deep Impact, Shawshank Redemption), Lucy Lui (Charlies Angels), Bruce Willis (Die Hard, The Jackal) and Josh Hartnett (The Faculty) who I actually thought was Benicio Del Torro (because of his haircut at the start of the film).

The film starts out leading you down the path of a plot that revolves around an apparent case of mistaken identity. Hartnett is mistaken for his friend who owes the wrong people a lot of money.
The friend owes money to two opposing groups of gangsters who hate each other and are in a bit of a war where only the innocent will suffer. Or at least thats what you'll be thinking until well into 2/3's of the way through the movie. Then the plot will twist and turn and you won't have a clue who has hired who, who is killing who and who is an assassin and who isn't.

Bruce Willis is basically revisiting his role from The Jackal. The film is brilliant, and will leave you thinking. You are never taken for granted and made to wonder and question things.
All in all a very good well made film.
