I don't think this movie ever made the theatres but is currenly out on Bright House In Demand and of course on DVD.

The movies well known cast consists of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsley and Lucy Lieu.


tagline: Wrong Time. Wrong Place. Wrong Number.

Plot Outline: A case of mistaken identity lands Slevin (Josh Hartnett) into the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city's most rival crime bosses: The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) and The Boss (Morgan Freeman). Slevin is under constant surveillance by relentless Detective Brikowski (Stanley Tucci) as well as the infamous assassin Goodkat (Bruce Willis) and finds himself having to hatch his own ingenious plot to get them before they get him. (view trailer)



I got the plot and tagline from IMDB. I finally got around to watch this movie and needless to say, I dont' see how in the fuck this movie slipped under the movie radars like this....... I'ts a great fuckign thriller, GREAT FUCKIGN MOVIE... I demand you guys to watch it.

i absolutely hated this movie. i just saw it for the first time two weeks ago, and i think that the screenwriter and director (if they're not the same person) should be tied together, with burlap sacks covering their heads, and thrown into piranha infested waters

I heard it was mediocre. Lots of stars but that hardly adds up at times.

Looks like you were the only hater... I can see why, there were some parts in the movie that were far fetched, they were too nice in the violence part, but you have to admit it it had a good plot.

I mean no every movie can be a goodfellas right ?

the plot was ok at best. the directing was sub-par, and the dialogue, sweet jesus the dialogue, at pretty much every point in the movie, made me angry. like "you've got mail" angry.

i'm usually a pretty forgiving guy when it comes to action/thriller movies. this movie just tried so hard to be good and different that it pissed me off beyond words. hell, the guy who bought it and i watched it with took it out of the dvd player and used it as a coaster for the rest of the night.

I hated it too - dont worry

i hate seeing actors not used to there potential - lucy liu as a sexy neighbor -are you serious? she was a fucking crime lord in kill bill - morgan freeman, ben kingsley, bruce "ill take any role if these days as long as i get bank" willis - all of josh hartnets "witty" lines were awful - if you get kidnapped in your damn towel - even if I know the ending - you arent going to talk like that

it was a bad quasi-adult live action cartoon
id rather watch cool world
