    I tried to (re)watch Lucky Number Slevin, but I just couldn’t finish it.

    I first watched it when it came out, and I remember liking it, but I didn’t remember much of the actual movie. So I decided to rewatch it recently and… I absolutely hate it. I figured I may have found some of the dialog funny before, but now it’s just tiresome.

    I like convoluted plots, but here I get the sense that it’s convoluted just for the sake of being convoluted. On top of that the writing seems to have been done by a 17 year old who thinks he’s the smartest person in the world coming up with the dialog, but in the end you have a movie that simply tries too damn hard to seem smart.

    I found myself rolling my eyes so much that I gave up halfway through.
