Lucky Number Slevin

I can't recommend this film enough. I haven't been that impressed with a film since Pulp Fiction (or as already mentioned, The Usual Suspects). I left the cinema smiling, and I can't tell you anything about it without spoiling it for you. This has the Saxon Good Film Guarantee1.

If, like my friend Mark, you're into action movies with comedy and enjoy non-linear story telling similar to Pulp Fiction, you'll love this.
If, like my friend Mark's wife, you have deductive powers that make Columbo look like a bumbling hack, you'll know what the ending is fifteen minutes into the film.

I certainly didn't see the ending coming, but then, I was ill at the time.

A+. Bloody fantastic, and just what the doctor ordered. (He did. He said get some bed rest, plenty of fluids, no heavy lifting and go see Lucky Number Slevin.)

1Not a guarantee. Kevin Saxon was nursing a cold during this movie. Some or all of the plot may have been a Night Nurse induced hallucination. Film score may be over exaggerated due to high fever. User enjoyment of this film may vary. Kevin Saxon is not responsible for cinema goers guessing the ending mid way through and spoiling it for themselves. Do not see with your wife if she has deductive powers better than Columbo and has a tendency to tell you her suspicions. Your statutory rights are not affected.
