First of all, this film has a rubbish name. Second, like its name, it’s rubbish.

I saw a trailer and thought this would be a good Snatch-style gangster flick. Big mistake.

Like a poor man’s Lock Stock, it goes for cinematic flashiness rather than anything of substance.

To sum up the plot, a friend of Mr Slevin (Josh Hartnett) gets in debt to two rival gangsters. One of them just wants his money back, while the other asks for a favour in place of repayment.

The ‘friend’ disappears and so it falls upon Slevin to sort the problem out.

The favour, unfortunately, is that he wants the other gangster’s son killed.

Slevin has to either find all the money and pay it back, or kill the son then come up with the cash, some £33,000, to give to the other boss.

I think if any of my mates did this to me they would certainly be taken off my Christmas card list.

In true gangster film fashion, the plot has a lot of twists.

Unfortunately, most of them are ridiculous.

Josh Harnett, (who has been in a lot of good films, but this isn’t one of them) is not the only star who might be regretting taking a role in this.

Also taking the money and running are Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Lucy Liu, who despite being a very good actress, always reminds me of the awful Ally McBeal.

They all seem to be coasting through a mundane, nonsense of a film.
