i guess some of the language, set/lighting styling, etc...i need to watch it again and see how i still think about it, but i watched it once a while back and didnt like it as much as i'd hoped....
i hated it.. it made me feel ill. I guess i have some sort of allergy to over-acting & cheesey dialogue.
Same could be said about Sin City but they're both great flicks. The cheesiness and overacting is part of their supposedly 'hard-boiled' appeal. I this movie was quality; violent and funny in about equal measures.
wached this last night. i liked it but i can never picture josh hartnett as a tough guy. was kinda weird seeing freeman & kingsley killed like a couple punks though.
I remember commenting to a friend after the movie that Hartnett doesn't have the crazy intensity of someone who seemed to have planned the revenge his whole life. He played the happy-go-lucky character fine at the start of the movie, but did not transit well into the avenger. Somone like Edward Norton reprising his role from Primal Fear would've been perfect for Lucky Number Slevin.

I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
totally right about nortons swtictheroo in that movie. he pulled it off much better. with hartnett i almost feel like i should be getting a stuffed teddy bear as i leave the theater. still a funny little flick.
^^hartnett and decaprio score high on the wuss factor. probably b/c they cant grow a beard even though they are 30 y/o. but decaprio was amazing in the departed, so it is always fun to make fun of him but he is a great actor.
I liked the film, but had a one beef with it. I feel as though the movie cheated the viewer. In the beginning they show Slevin being mugged as though it actually happened. While he recapped the previous 3 bad things that happened to him with a voice over, the film protrayed the mugging as a recent ACTUAL event, not as a recalling of events, when in actuality it never happened. It would have been fine if Slevin told Lucy Liu's character (Lindsey) about it as a voiceover or whatever, but the film portrays it as a truth, which is then contradicted by the plot twist at the end. Smalle detail I realize, but thats the difference between the plot twist in this movie and the one in the 6th Sense.
On a side note, I thought Lucy Liu was the best actor in the film. I now totally have a crush on her charecter.
Best Quote: Slevin: How did you find out about us? Mr. Goodkat: I'm a world-class assassin, fuckhead. How do you think I found out?
It's never too late to become the person you always thought you would be.

cool film, watched it yesterday. i specifically liked sir ben kingsley, what a great actor. i agree on the "switch-hartnett-with-norton" point, that would have been a much better cast.
Anybody else see this movie? I didn't see a thread for it. I saw it in the theater and thought it was good, but when i rented it and watched it again i thought it was simply awesome. Great story, great acting, cool cinematography, and awesome set design.
