Lucky Number Slevin Reviews |
Unfortunately, director Paul McGuigan tries to make it all serious at the end, and this isn't the kind of story that should be taken seriously. If the filmmakers had accepted the strength of their materials, they could have turned out a considerably better film. [read review] 
--Jeremy Mathews (FilmThreat.com)
With such a quality troupe of actors, it's hard to go go wrong, and admittedly, there are good laughs and moments of genuine tension, making this a surprisingly effective little suspense vehicle for long stretches at a time. If you can look past the overcooked deceptions in the plot, plenty is here to admire, making Lucky Number Slevin worth a serious look for a fun and suspenseful mystery with touch of tongue-in-cheek flair.

--Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
It's a good mix of humor and danger and it provides a strong dark comedy without losing tension....There have been several good dark comedies in the past year; The Matador, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Ice Harvest. Lucky Number Slevin can now be added to that list. [read review] 
--Scott Nash (TheMovieBuffs.com)
The final 15 minutes of “Slevin” are devoted to McGuigan flat-out explaining the plot to the audience, which is now divided into two camps: those that have no desire to learn the “truth” in the first place, and those who figured it out in the opening reel because Josh Hartnett is incapable of a performance that requires a character to convey the illusion of ingenuity.

--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
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. I adore movies that can confound my expectations, and this one succeeded. Kudos to Lucky Number Slevin on that score. Warts and all, this deserves nothing less than a solid recommendation.

--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Credit director Paul McGuigan, screenwriter Jason Smilovic, and the entire cast for bringing this tightly wound, intricately constructed thriller to life. Lucky Number Slevin is a pleasant surprise and a film you might not mind sitting through more than once to pick up things you didn't catch the first time around. [read review] B+
--Rebecca Murray (About.com)
...the film isn't as light on its feet as it should be. It's often so enamored of its own cleverness that it starts to feel bloated and overlong. Something this well-thought-out ought to be just a little smoother. [read review] B-
--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
... No matter whether you enjoy this movie or not, I can’t imagine anyone with any kind of moral compass walking out of it and not feeling at least vaguely uncomfortable with what they’ve just seen. [read review] 5/10
--Tony Medley (TonyMedley.com)
Enjoyable thriller featuring colourful, offbeat performances and a sharply written script that’s packed with snappy one-liners. [read review]
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
The most original movie I've seen in a long time! A definite must-see film you will not be disappointed in. [read review] 
--Steven Chupnick (MovieWeb)
It's funny and well put together and while it does occasionally out-clever itself, it's still very good. [read review]
--Joshua Starnes (ComingSoon.net)
A fast-paced, funny riff on film noir and thriller-mysteries that leaves your head spinning. [read review]
--Kirk Honeycutt (Hollywod Reporter)
