So underrated, one of my favorite movies

The dialogue is awesome, as well as the acting. I found Lucy Liu's character's nonchalance about the violence and intrigue surrounding Slevin a little off-putting or unbelievable, but found her otherwise, adorable. I loved Bruce Willis in this as GoodKat, and I loved Slevin's change at the end of the movie, it was startling.

This is actually one of my favorite movies. I don't understand why it's so underrated.

Totally agree. Nobody ever talks about this movie. Very well made!

Watched it yesterday and this film is *beep* garbage. The script is terrible; telegraphs the twist from a mile away, awful dialogue that tries mimicking Tarantino, but has no clue what made those films good. Cinematography is over lit and too soft. Music sounds like elevator music and undercuts every scene.

This is no joke one of the worst films I've ever seen. Pseudo clever crap

I love this movie. Have seen it multiple times and it's fun and awesomeness never dim.

If there is anything from Tarantino, there would be that they both have a proper visual identity. The colors and the soundtrack seems like on purpose, like from another world. I understand you cannot like it, but I disagree with the fact they are the same.

Unlike Tarantino who likes to add "real life" dialogue, that goes in every direction, and has no real impact on the action itself, here the dialogue is a tool.
