Just watched Lucky Number Slevin with The Wife. It came from Netflicks the other day, so we figured we'd check it out. Great movie.

Honestly, I'd say it combines two movies that would easily make my top ten movies ever: The Usual Suspects and The Sting. It's as sharp and edgy as the former and as situationally funny as the latter.

I've been fascinated by cons since the first time I saw The Sting as a kid. And really, who doesn't like being a part of something like that? Of course, I've never been involved in anything truly criminal; but I have been found at the root of some of the most complicated, convoluted practical jokes.
