Lucky Number Slevin is a crime thriller set in New York City. In Australia the film's release title is "The Wrong Man", this is the same title as the 1956 Hitchock film in which the lead character has a case of mistaken identity, a theme in which many Hitchcock films as well as Lucky Number Slevin share.
The film stars Bruce Willis and Josh Hartnett, who were also together in "Sin City".
The plot for the movie is a case of mistaken identity lands Slevin (Josh Hartnett) in the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city's rival crime bosses: The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) and The Boss (Morgan Freeman).

I heard that you can watch up to 6 movies a day, that's pretty hard core.

Now once a month if Im luckyon the weekend. Fact is that Im at the stage where Im looking to make my mark now so I tend to work on my own stuff more than watching others these days.
The one thing that wil never change is that movies are my oxygen.
