Plot

The film has a small prologue. Early in the morning at the bus station, the Good Cat tells a stranger a long history. About twenty years ago someone named Max learned that one of the horses on the races would be pumped up with doping. He comes to the racetrack with his son, leaves him in the car and puts all the money taken from very serious people on this horse. Before the finish she falls. Max is tortured by the people of the mafia that owns the racetrack, and is brutally murdered. Killed by his wife (she is shot right in the house) and son, taken away for the punishment of the city.

Having finished his story, the Good Cat kills the listener and leaves. Approximately at this time in New York arrives Slevin. In his life came a period of failure: trouble at work, parting with the girl. To top it off, he was left without an apartment. His friend Nick offers to stay with him. On the street, a young man is robbed and in a fight they break his nose. The apartment is empty, and Slevin thinks that Nick is away somewhere. He gets to know his friend's neighbor, Lucy's girlfriend. She is worried that Nick is gone for a long time, and decides to look for him.

Not having time to relax after the flight Slevin visit strangers. They take him for Nick, and without stolen documents the protagonist can not prove that they are wrong. He is brought to the Boss and he reports that Nick owes him an impressive amount of money, almost a hundred thousand dollars. Since he personally did not see him, he takes Slevin for his friend. The boss offers a deal - the protagonist kills the son of his worst enemy, and the debt will be forgiven.

On the same day the young man comes from the Rabbi and is invited to a meeting with him. He tells Slevin that once they were best friends with the Boss, but then quarreled and became deadly enemies. The protagonist, who is still mistaken for Nick, learns that his friend owed to the Rabbi as well. Debt will be forgiven in exchange for a service - the murder of the Boss. And again, Slevin is forced to agree - he does not have this kind of money, and Nick seems to have decided to just disappear from the city, fearing reprisal because of debts.

Reviews about the picture of the audience and the opinion of critics

The film "Lucky Number Slevin", whose actors are very popular, is among the best films of world cinema. But the reviews of the thriller have diametrically opposite. Many viewers noted it as a film with an absolutely unpredictable plot, keeping in suspense until the very end. To others he seemed long and uninteresting in terms of the plot. Most critics spoke favorably about the film, although they noted that the role of the Killer of the Good Cat, whose image was embodied on the screen by Bruce Willis, is poorly spelled out, and many motives for his actions are therefore incomprehensible to the viewer.
