I don't care what anyone else thinks--I really enjoyed this flick.

I'm still unclear about the term Slevin (Josh Harnett) used with Lindsay (Lucy Lui) that implied he had some kind of psyhcological condition that rendered him incapable of worry. It sounded like he said, "I have anorexia", but maybe it was something like anuevosia. What ever it was I've never heard of it before and it really cracked me up--I'll have to try to look it up. I loved the way Kingsley's "Rabbi" talked

Yeah, I've been waiting for this one to come out on DVD. Just entered it in my netflix queue. Hopefully I'll get soon. I've grown to really appreciate Bruce Willis no matter how doofy his role is.

It's a lot of fun-great wisecraking script, lots of memorable lines, Like an Elmore James adaptation with dashes of Pulp Fiction and The Usual Suspects thrown in. Bruce is really not doofy at all, in fact the only past character of his I can compare his role to is John Smith in Last Man Standing (and maybe the seriousness of Crowe in The Sixth Sense).
Speaking of Elmore James--there's a promo on this DVD for Killshot that I desperately want to see: Diane Laine, Thomas (the Punisher) James and my man Mickey Rourke--it looks totally cool--in fact Mickey with long hair, fat and debauched looks is staring to resemble Sitting Bull!

Saw Slevin today. Great movie. Funny, fast paced and you're right--great script. It was a treat to see Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley as criminals. If I were them, I'd have gone a little tighter on the security!danlo wrote:It's a lot of fun-great wisecraking script, lots of memorable lines, Like an Elmore James adaptation with dashes of Pulp Fiction and The Usual Suspects thrown in.

I'm not a big Lucy Liu fan, but I thought she was terrific in this one (loved the Columbo references!)
I was satisfied to see all loose ends neatly tied up by the end of the movie.
I like Willis. No matter what role he plays, I still like him. He seems to do a great job as the stone faced hit man, badass, or redeemer. So, what I meant was that even if he plays a doofy character, I'll probably still like it simply because he's really grown on me over the years.
