(1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   1   "Savor the surprises."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3.5/5 "worth a look for its refreshing qualities"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French D "Slevin feels like a lackluster writing sample that somehow bumbled its way into a feature film production."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf B- "Josh Hartnett ("Sin City") indulges in a snappy tongue-in-cheek puzzle of a thriller that's akin to eating ten flavors of ice cream at once."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Despite the title of the movie he lives in, Slevin (Josh Hartnett) is only partly lucky."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "The fist half hour of this film is so promising that I'm almost willing to ignore the mess that follows. Almost."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2.5/4 "...one can't help but wonder if the movie would've worked better had some of the twists been revealed at the outset..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair " Perhaps George Clooney and his effortlessly cool Ocean's 11 series is to blame for this wave of insubstantial, inept caper flicks with Rat Pack ambitions."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor C- "A twisty and stylish but disposable thriller that leads nowhere with its inflated plot."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "A gaseous movie experience gets a solid DVD treatment."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "The flick is made from good parts, but doesn't feel as light on its feet as it should."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A- "A starkly beautiful film, the direction not merely elevating the plot but transcending it to the point where it is hardly even important. I could sit and watch this movie on a 24-hour loop."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C+ "Little more than a clever puzzle: though the pieces ultimately fit together, when fully revealed the picture proves less than meets the eye."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "As twisty thrillers of the genre go, this one is more than passable. Overanalyzation can spoil the fun -- this is the kind of movie with which it's best to go with the flow."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "There are a few genuine surprises, but not enough to cover over the fact that the biggest reveal of all was plainly obvious in the first 10 minutes."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/4 "Lucky Number Slevin moves along nicely, and it's easy to get caught up in all that style. But style and cheap tricks are two different things."   Reel.com   James Plath 7/10 "...a funky crime picture loaded with slick dialogue, lots of bloody killings and a slew of oddly named characters..."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2.0/4.0 "Technically perfect but wholly uninteresting..."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3.5/5 "Don't think too hard when seeing this movie because you'll spoil the surprises."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 3/4 "Smilovic's rapid-fire, Tarantino-esque dialogue is consistently razor-sharp, and the elaborate set design -- which leans heavily towards shiny, riotously patterned wallpaper -- is an eyeball-jangling blast."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Competently made, but we've seen it before and the message is morally muddy"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes B "There's more style than substance here, but the style takes us pretty far, with some wicked wisecracks, some nicely twisty plot turns, and some very twisted characters."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "What's ultimately missing from Slevin is not only mystery and humor, but any trace of inventiveness to counteract the overriding triteness of its Pulp Fiction-ish shenanigans."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "Slick, stylish and enjoyably disorienting, this is one of those crime thrillers that feels a lot more complicated than it actually is, simply because the filmmakers withhold key information from us at every turn."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "The more you let the niggling questions go, the better Lucky Number Slevin gets."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C+ "This good-natured noir is terrifically amusing and likable for the first hour."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 8/10 "Even if the dialogue is too glib for the dark and ruthless heroes, a great cast and edgy story keep this thriller moving to the very end. "   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson C+ "... a fun but bloodless pastiche, at least where it counts."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 2/4 "Screenwriting 101 professors likely would hand Lucky Number Slevin back to scripter Jason Smilovic with the helpful critique "Too much Tarantino" scribbled in red ink across the top of the cover sheet."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell 3/4 "funny and smart"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "Our curiosity about the answer to the question 'What's a nice kid like you doing in a joint like this?' may be the only thing that keeps us watching."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "Slick and stylized, it's a convoluted crime plot that's stretched to pretentious extremes."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "A witty little lark about a boy completing his Oedipal split--and falling in love in the process."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel  (1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   1
