Lucky Number Slevin

I love stories where things are happening and you don´t know how everything fits together, but in the end the circle closes. So of course you watch the movie a second time to look for hints and to find out if you could have known before. Lucky Number Slevin is such a movie, probably the first one in which i like Josh Hartnett, who plays really funny with dry humor. Bruce Willis alias Cold Cat is a cool murderer as we know and love him, with a good side, what is almoust unnecessary to mention. So there is this sweet guy called Slevin (Josh Harnett)who gets into this circle of bad luck. He loses his job, his grilfriend betrayes him, he goes to visit an old friend Nick. On the way his portmonai gets robbed by a thief who brakes his nose. And then he is in the appartment of his friend, who somehow doesn´t appear. Suddenly he (actually Nick) ows a lot of money to two powerful figures (called the Boss and the Rabbi), and he can´t prove that he isn´t Nick, because his portmonai got stolen. And of course he is not able to pay back the imense amount of money. It is too funny how Josh Hartnett alias Slevin walkes only dressed in a purple towel through the black dark building and even though (or maybe because) the movie is quite brutal it is filled with dry and absurd humor. Nice one.
