Goofs:

Erros cometidos pelos personagens (possívelmente erros deliberados pelos cineastas): When Slevin explains to Lindsay why he isn't acting like he's worried about his troubling situation, the English captions read, "I have anorexia" (the eating disorder) rather than "I have ataraxia" (the Epicurean philosophy of freedom from preoccupation).

witty, fast fasted, stylishly interesting

I've never been motivated to leave a review here based on reading others, but the slamming of LNS is beyond accepting. The movie has a style that may, if fact, be borrowed from many other sources, but when it's on the screen, it feels complete as its' own. While the connections are not as surprising as some may say, they are certainly not spelled out for the viewer.

The dialog is a bit kitchy, but there in lies the movies' charm. Reviewers stuck on the believability factor of such dialog seem to be limiting themselves to one cine-style that we'd be limiting ourselves to only 5% (I'm making up that number) of accessible films.

LNS is a fun thinking mans' thriller that is witty, fast fasted, stylishly interesting and ENTERTAINING!!! That's what I want out of a movie, entertainment.... for those who are looking for reality, read the papers, watch CNN, take a walk in somebody else's' neighborhood. For those who like slick mysteries with interesting dialog rent or buy Lucky Number Sleven
