Peter G. (247 KP) rated Lucky Number Slevin (2006) in Movies
Sep 24, 2019
Unexpectedly good film, as I was expecting a poor gangster movie clone.
This is a very twist and turn revenge thriller with a massively high body count and influenced by both Tarantino and Hitchcock although it is a little predictable in execution.
Hartnett was the new rising star at that moment in time and shows great promise alongside *Sir* Ben Kingley and the always great Morgan Freeman, worthy of anyones time!

After... certainly not happily ever
This movie had sat on my Netflix watch list for ages, I continued to by pass it daily until I took the plunge. I was glad to watch it, taken in by the story, horrified by the “twist” and rolling along with the predictability. I enjoyed the fresh faced casting, the filming locations also... worth a watch if you like Young Adult drama

Decent but not surprising
Contains spoilers, click to show
Overall a decent movie. There was not that twisty storyline that kept me engaged. There was a slight expected twist towards the end, but nothing that blew my mind away. Simon Pegg did a decent job, but his body transformation for the role was insane. Atmosphere was good, not great. Its a good Saturday early evening watch before a true blockbuster Thriller.

Amazing origin story!
I loved this film. Emma Stone plays an amazing evil genius and I love that Cruella has always been into fashion. Explains her obsession with it in the original animation. I also like the subtle nods to the original like Anita and Pongo and Perdita! Adding the extra twist of Lost family and death makes it so much better! Really amazing and would definitely watch again!

Watched last week and I did like it I was surprised by the twist near the end of the movie where u discover the the secret of this 50s community it looks so perfect but there's some thing off about it. Best part of the movie is Florence pugh brilliant performance the set design the costumes everything about it is so the 1950s overall good film

Well.
This is hard to describe.
Which is probably to be expected from the author of The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Slightly dated now (set in the 1980s, we're now in 2025), this is a sort of time travelling whodunnit with a twist of romance thrown in, that probably deserves more to be read than to be described.
Not as famous as THHGTTG series, perhaps, but still worth reading.

I finished it, but I didn't read every story. I couldn't. This is not a collection for cat-lovers, and I am an unabashed ailurophile. I appreciated the introductions, as the helped me avoid some stories, and I regret reading others—most particularly "Not Waving" by Michael Marshall Smith. It was a very well-written story, showing first-hand knowledge of bulimia and the way it can twist those who have it and those who love them. I was nauseated, though, and hated the twist even though I knew how it would end.
I strongly recommend that people who seek out every cat-related collection avoid this tome. If, however, you simply enjoy good writing, go for it. Datlow has, as always, selected fine pieces, every one. I didn't find one piece that rang false. I would have chosen a darker title, as I found less of wonder than the macabre, but what do I know?
