Lucky Number Slevin

by Mike Durrett
for About.com

Lucky Number Slevin: A hardboiled drama laced with black humor, which, as heard in the trailer, can sound like riffs from an Abbott and Costello exchange. MGM shoots:
    "Lucky Number Slevin is a thriller that twists and turns its way through an underworld of crime and revenge.

Set in New York City, a case of mistaken identity lands Slevin (Josh Hartnett) into the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city's most rival crime bosses: The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) and The Boss (Morgan Freeman). Slevin is under constant surveillance by relentless Detective Brikowski (Stanley Tucci) as well as the infamous assassin Goodkat (Bruce Willis) and finds himself having to hatch his own ingenious plot to get them... before they get him.

Lucky Number Slevin also stars Lucy Liu and is directed by Paul McGuigan (Wicker Park). Kirk Honeycutt says in The Hollywood Reporter:
    "No matter how badly the movie cons you, you must admit that the film is stylish as hell with sharp dialogue, a tongue-in-cheek plot and visual and editing razzle-dazzle."
The official movie site serves the coming attractions preview and a few images from the film.
