« It was decent, if a bit overly polished » As always, there is a limit to how bad anything Morgan Freeman appears in can be. He did a great job for his part, but there were some things that were a bit unexplained in the movie. Weak points: 1. What caused the schism between the two bosses? How did the timing work out so perfectly that the first boss knew that the second killed his son? 2. It is very easy for Bruce Willis to look cool, but it seems like his walking into a parking garage and shooting someone while in motion in an elevator was a bit.....overdone. 3. The treatment of how the failed bet (around which the whole movie was based) was a bit stretched. Were all that many steps really necessary to explain how the information traveled all the way to the person who made the bet? 4. When Lucy Liu's character was "killed" at the end of the movie (and the shooting was later found to have not been done properly), can we really believe that a hitman would make a hit and then not make sure that his target was dead? Pushing the limits of believability. 5. How was Bruce Willis' character someone who left New York for many years only to come right back and know all intimate details that would be needed for him to pull off the job in the way that it was pulled off? Strong points: 1. It is nice how the whole movie came together in a sort of "Aha!" way at the end. 2. The casting was excellent. Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley and all of the assistants to the boss did a great job in their roles ("Slow," etc). .:. Rating: 4 / 5

« Offbeat Twists and Turns » Lucky Slevin is anything but conventional. As it begins, you are beginning to wonder if this is just another silly character film that goes nowhere. Even good actors (Willis, Freeman) make bad movies, right? But... if you are wiling to hang in there, "Lucky" turns from silly to powerfully focused and the twists are really quite unpredictable. When this one is over you will think, "Boy, better than I ever thought this would be!" Thumbs up! .:. Rating: 4 / 5
