Before I had a long break in movie watching, one of my biggest complains about movies was regarding the stories. It seemed back then that there were three of four main story lines, which all films were aligned along.\u00c2\u00a0 That was very sad and boring.\u00c2\u00a0 Now that I got back to movie watching, I am glad to report that there are many films with original stories.\u00c2\u00a0 Twists, surprises, and more twists. I have troubles guessing how the movie will end every other time.\u00c2\u00a0 So, it’s either the movies got a little better, or I got so much worse.<\/p>\n

I watched “Lucky Number Slevin<\/a>“, which I expected to be yet another action, considering there were pictures of Bruce Willis with a gun all over the place.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought that it would also probably be funny, since Bruce Willis was pictured in a hat.\u00c2\u00a0 And that’s about as much as I expected from the film.<\/p>\n

But I was wrong.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a really twisted story.\u00c2\u00a0 With lots of action.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of really great photography.\u00c2\u00a0 And fast paced.\u00c2\u00a0 Bruce Willis was accompanied by Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman, and Ben Kingsley.\u00c2\u00a0 There are some really great background characters too.<\/p>\n

This film provides good, albeit not family safe,\u00c2\u00a0 entertainment, with plenty of good humor and details to look for while watching it for the second, third, or fourth time.\u00c2\u00a0 A must see, and a recommend DVD buy.\u00c2\u00a0 8 out of 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
