Review #128: Lucky Number Sleven (2006)
-People have compared it to The Usual Suspects. I haven’t seen it. Maybe I should, Kevin Spacey, it’s got to be good.
-The interiors in this movie were great. At first I thought they were too stylized and lame, but later on these absurd wall paper designs made me finally want to buy my own house and decorate it.
-Lucy Liu is pretty good at playing a cute normal girl who’s not a bitch or a badass.
-Now I know why Bruce Willis has gotten all these hard-boiled stone-faced roles as he’s gotten older. He can’t act.
-Josh Hartnet spent a whol lot of time in just a towel. I didn’t care. I am the world’s worst queer.
-The story line was good, but towards the end, in a flashback, we see the catalyst that sets the whole movie up. This scene involving Willis and a ten-year-old boy reeks of formulaic hollywood tripe. It has no style, is poorly acted, goes against character for Willis, and is just lame.
-I was appalled by the 4:20 reference in the very last shot where a radio announcer says: “It’s twenty minutes past four…” This is not, however, as pathetic as the numerous 4:20 references in Gremlins 2. I can think of two right off the top of my head.
-It was good , you should see it.
