      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Trying too hard to be clever in a Pulp Fiction kind of way, this film succumbs to a convoluted plot, overly stylized characters, and dizzying set design.

      K. E One of my all time favorite movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Jan Absolute masterpiece. Underrated gem by wannabe "critics". Cast, score, writing, and set design are all great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Howard W Crazy movie, always interesting, can recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/24 Full Review Colin L Great story and characters. Highly recommend. Genuinely surprised how good it was. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Joe P Lucy Liu is fantastic with Josh Hartnett. Bruce Willis and Ben Kingsley are phenomenal. Well written, wonderfully acted. Strong plot with lots of energy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Denise T Contrived and convoluted with glib cutesy dialogue and wholly unoriginal style— so much is swiped from Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, both of whom were borrowers in the first place.

      Brian Tallerico UGO McGuigan has such a stylish eye that, even if you never quite care what's happening, you'll always be visually entertained. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review J. R. Jones Chicago Reader With its diabolical ending, this is the movie equivalent of a crossword puzzle: fun, clever, and disposable. Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine A gaseous movie experience gets a solid DVD treatment. Sep 6, 2006 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …well worth a look for fans of McGuigan, Hartnett and particular those with a penchant for Bruce Willis in action mode… Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News A bloody romp full of rich characters and performances. Writer Jason Smilovic and director Paul McGuigan have created a great homage to film noir. Rated: A- Nov 20, 2019 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net Lucky Number Slevin is a very clever film, probably too clever for its own good.
