Lucky Number Slevin Starring Josh Hartnett, Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman

 Everyone---are you ready for a big dose of action with an all-star cast from the “Cream of the Crop Actors”? Then this is the movie for you.

Slevin Kelevra (Josh Hartnett) is invited by a friend---Nick Fisher (Sam Jaeger) to come for a visit. However, he finds his friend Nick is not home at the moment. So he makes himself at home by taking a long shower to wash his troubled week of stress away.

His terrible week included being robbed---while he walked the streets in an easy mode--- he enjoyed the window displays when he came to the city. Slevin was minding his own business when suddenly he was hit in the face and robbed.

Now he is tired, bruised, broke and worried about his absent friend---this was not like Nick not to be here to make him feel welcomed.

He gets out of his leisurely shower feeling refreshed as much a worried guy can be---when someone knocked on his friend’s apartment door. He answered it with a towel wrapped around his waist---it is Lindsey (Lucy Liu) the neighbor who is friendly, talkative and little nosy.

Lindsey wanted to know what happened to his face. So he explained---and he hoped she would leave---but she stayed longer---because she liked the view---of Slevin and his towel.

After Lindsey left Nick’s apartment---Slevin had two more visitors. Two gangsters who worked for “The Boss” Elvis (Dorian Missick) and Sloe (Mykelti Williamson) told Slevin the Boss wanted to see him.

Slevin tells them---I am not who you think I am---I do not live here.

Sloe told him---you look like the guy who lives here.

Slevin---asked them---You have never seen him---have you?

Still with a towel wrapped around his waist---Slevin ends up stand in front of the Boss (Morgan Freeman) and tried to explain this was a case of mistaken identity. He says to the Boss---I am not the guy you want.

Slevin does not know at this point Nick owed both the Boss and the Rabbi money. And if he knew while standing there in front of the Boss--- his towel might fall off.

The Boss wanted him to kill the son of the Rabbi in revenge for him murdering the Boss’ son. And as if this is not enough for Slevin to worry about. Both powerful bosses--- the Boss and the Rabbi (Sir Ben Kingsley) crime lords--- hired a professional hitman Mr. Goodkat (Bruce Willis); who is a heartless killer.

And while Slevin is trying to just stay alive---from being caught in the middle; he must feel like a very unlucky guy.

What will happen next? Will Slevin and Lindsey fall in love in the middle of his identity crisis? Will his friend Nick finally show up? Will Detective Brisowski (Stanley Tucci) continue to pressure Slevin to help him get the two crime lords?

I really like this DVD because of the action and the fact it might not be too far from fiction imitating life. What a great time we live in---as we do not need to leave home for entertainment. Just put in a DVD and pop some corn---for a lovely family night, girl’s night or special someone night to watch a great movie.
