confusing in the beginning but all makes sense at the end

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2008)

This is one of those films that is reminiscent of a Tartino film. The movie starts in the middle and we see the beginning in flashbacks toward the end of the film, and it all comes together. I thought it was a very clever plot.
The Boss and the Rabbi (2 Mafia type heads) send guys to pick up a guy named Nick Fisher. They go to his apartment and a guy is there but says he is not Nick, but his name is Slevin. He conveniently was mugged and has no ID. The hot neighbor, Lindsey, comes over and Slevin tells her he is a friend of Nick's and Nick asked him to meet him there.
So, Slevin talks to the Rabbi and the Boss and they want him to do something to harm the other because they are enemies. Later on we meet Mr. Goodkat whom is an killer, but who is he working for. Soon, we learn Slevin's true identity and his connection to Mr. Goodkat and why he wanted to meet the Rabbi and the Boss. It all comes together nicely.
FINAL VERDICT: Great, I'm surprised I never heard of this movie before I saw it on cable.
