In 'Lucky Number Slevin' Josh Hartnett plays Slevin, a guy who has just run into some bad luck. He has lost his job, his apartment is being condemned, his girlfriend is cheating on him and he gets mugged. But that is nothing compared to what is about to happen. When he goes to visit a friend in New York, he is the victim of mistaken identity. Not one, but two powerful crime lords think he is Nick, the guy that owes each of them a lot of money. Slevin has to do what he is told or else. But things are not always what they seem.
This movie is awesome. It is a cross between, 'The Jackal' and 'The Usual Suspects'. Everyone is casted very well in their respectable roles. Ben Kingsley is particularly good as a Rabbi/crime boss. I was really impressed with Lucy Liu as the sweet, innocent 'Nancy Drew' role. It is refreshing to see her depart from her usual 'tough chic' roles and show her versatility.
Do not miss this one, it is fantastic.
