In the end, LUCKY NUMBER SLEVEN is a good movie, but it starts off like a badly told tale and most of the people in it wear...

Twists are kookie things. Mishandled and/or overused, such as in a craptastic film like Reindeer Games, and they simply add pretentiousness to an already listless story. If the film is otherwise boring save the twist, such as most of Shyamalan's crap, you get a pony worthy of a single trick. If the twist is simply a tool...
