Lucky Number Slevin is one of the most criminally under-seen films in recent memory. Sporting a massive cast complete with Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman and Stanley Tucci, it was directed by Paul McGuigan and incorporates every genre - from comedy to action, from crime-drama to mystery - into its twisting and clever narrative.

Slevin Kelevra (Hartnett) accidentally finds himself in the middle of conflict between two New York crime bosses (Kingsley and Freeman) and must find a way to get out of his predicament before it overwhelms him. The film has assassins, plot twists at every corner, great visuals and seamless performances from the lead actors.

Initially dismissed as a budget Tarantino flick thanks to its stylish characters, quick-witted dialogue and constantly shifting plot, Lucky Number Slevin is every bit as fun and witty as anything by the Pulp Fiction maestro. If you want a film which has style and is willing to toy with you from start to finish, then Slevin might just be the perfect film for you.
