Does a good job of what it's trying to do.

This is one of those films that REALLY tries hard to put in snappy and funny dialog like Pulp Fiction did, and they do that in this film and it mostly works. The performances in this film were all really good, especially Ben Kingsley in a role as a Rabbi mobster and Stanley Tucci as the corrupt FBI man. The problem with the film is that it is unfolded in a confusing way where you don't know exactly what is happening until it is explained at the end of the film. It might annoy you, which it did to me, but I enjoyed just watching these guys perform. The plot (or what you are lead to believe is the plot) is that hit-man Mr. Goodkat (Willis) kills a man named Nick, and Slevin (Hartnett) happened to be staying at Nick's place and is called in by two mobsters both that hate each other (Freeman and Kingsley) that believe he is Nick and they want him to pay him money that Nick owes them and kill each other's loved ones. Meanwhile Slevin meets Nick's neighbor Lindsey (Lui) and is being watched by FBI agent Brikowski (Tucci). The plot unfolds about 50 zillion secrets and twists and turns along the way which I won't reveal, so go see it. I recommend it! My rating-3/4 stars. 105 mins. Rated R for strong violence, sexuality including nudity and language.
