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.
