Title : Review: Lucky Number Slevin
Time : 11:14 pm
Earworm: Free Loop~~Daniel Powter
Ok so I missed the first 5 minutes of the show but I still don't really get why they needed to kill Max's family. "To be made an example" was the reason cited, mob culture? Ok, unfamiliar territory for me. The movie was reasonably fast paced with some witty dialogue, although Josh Hartnett's wisecracks is a little too much. and not a Bond fan to appreciate the playful banter between him and Lucy Liu about who's the best Bond. A case of mistaken identity, and Slevin is caught between a dangerous game played by rival crimelords. I saw who Slevin really was a mile away, but the ending was pretty good still. One more thing, I don't understand why when a film is rated 18 above, there will still be censored bits. In particular I noticed a sex scene (I surmised as much from later dialogue) was entirely cut out. And I hear news that gory deaths in slasher flicks say Final Destination 3 were untouched in their full bloody glory. There IS more tolerance towards violence here than sex. Oh i forgot, love is in the process of being banned in the country. Read Marina Mahathir's Musings.Oh and when I was driving home, got horned at for not switching on headlights. *knocks self on the head*
