UnLucky # Slevin

All though the movie,"Lucky # Slevin" was entertaining it seemed very awkward from the beginning. The Dialog itself was two witty and mannered making the characters seem like they had no care in any situation. In a way they all acted like existentialists.

"Lucky Number Slevin," on the other hand, goes to some pains to make it clear it is only an exercise in style. Here we are looking at a crime mystery involving warring hoodlums and beautiful neighbors and a confused guy from out of town and a gunman and a cop, and the movie knows we're deluded and they're all just conceits. It's smarter than we are. Well, it must be, because it got us to watch it. -Roger Ebert-

Sure the argument that the movie was made for a sophisticated audience could arise because it seem like Robertr Ebert writes "They think they're more clever than I am, and they may be right, but that doesn't make me like them."
