Lucky Number Slevin

Very good movie. Great performances all around, though Sir Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman weren't totally convincing in their roles. When those two actors turn in the worst performances of the film you've got a great movie. Josh Hartnett is excellent in the role of Slevin, it's the kind of role that can set up an entire career. Bruce Willis is perfectly cast as 'Good Cat', a hitman who becomes Slevin's mentor after being given the job to kill him when Slevin is a boy. I've seen pretty much every movie out right now and this one is the best film currently in theaters. V For Vendetta is a close second. If you like Snatch, Fight Club, Memento, and movies like that, you'll probably like this. It's not quite as kinetic as those movies but it's very similar thematicly.

This review probably contains spelling errors and terrible use of grammar. Get over it.
