Lucky Number Slevin, the 2006 neo-noir crime thriller movie with a truly all-star cast, is now streaming on Prime Video.

Directed by Paul McGuigan (Gangster No. 1, Sherlock), the film sees a case of mistaken identity put a man named Slevin (Josh Hartnett, Black Hawk Down) in the middle of a war between two rival New York crime lords: The Rabbi (Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley) and the Boss (Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman).

“While under the watchful eyes of Detective Brikowski (Stanley Tucci) and well-known assassin Goodkat (Bruce Willis), Slevin must quickly devise a plan to save his skin before his luck runs out,” the plot synopsis reads.

Also starring Lucy Liu as Slevin’s kindly neighbour, Lucky Number Slevin was a hit at the box office upon release but received mixed reviews from critics.

That said, it seems to have developed a bit of a cult following from the general public – holding an 87% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.7 IMDB score.

This is easy to see why thanks to the movie’s stylish direction, snappy script, twisty story and of course, its all-star cast.

You can read a sample of some of the positive reviews the film received right here:

Chicago Reader: “With its diabolical ending, this is the movie equivalent of a crossword puzzle: fun, clever, and disposable.”

Chicago Tribune: “The talk is witty, the twists are ingenious, the look and the mood are drop-dead.”

Detroit News: “With its curlicue plot, consummate cast and crackerjack dialogue, Lucky Number Slevin is the sharpest bang-bang flick of the year so far.”

Ebert & Roeper: “Entertaining as heck.”

New York Daily News: “Jason Smilovic’s screenplay for Paul McGuigan’s Lucky Number Slevin would be too clever for its own good if it weren’t so… darn clever.”

Lucky Number Slevin is streaming on Prime Video in the UK right now.
