LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN
Theater: Showcase Cinemas Stonybrook, Louisville, Kentucky
The beginning of the movie does not start out where you expect it to. And it's great.
You have Josh Hartnett being confused for someone else. Problem is, he's being confused by two rival mob bosses (Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman). Throw Lucy Liu in as the hot neighbor and Bruce Willis in as a hitman, and you have a mind-bending romp through a man's forced choice to serve one side or the other. And did I mention the NYPD is on his case now too?
It's filled with dry humor and surprises but doesn't get too clever for its own good. And Bruce Willis kills more people here than he does in 16 Blocks, I'm pretty sure ... and he's only a supporting character!
The movie won't keep you bored, may keep you guessing, and won't make you sorry you paid some money to see it.
See it if - you like being entertained in the theater; you were disappointed in Willis' previous outings.
Rent it if - go see it instead.
