Fun Stuff

Trivia:
According to the DVD commentary with Josh Hartnett and Lucy Liu, Lindsey's reaction when she walks in on Slevin with his towel open is real. The scene was scripted but Josh Hartnett actually flashed Lucy Liu without telling her prior. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Slevin explains to Lindsay why he isn't acting like he's worried about his troubling situation, the English captions read, "I have anorexia" (the eating disorder) rather than "I have ataraxia" (the Epicurean philosophy of freedom from preoccupation). more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Soldier: He's clean.
Benny Begin: So, why are you here? Huh?

Absolutely Amazing Film, 3 March 2006
10/10
Author: sweethoneyhan from Leicester

I really felt i needed to write this comment, because the one just before made me so angry. If the prior user had paid a little more attention to this film he would have noticed how intricate and brilliant the plot was. I don't want to give anything away of this film, but i strongly recommend this film to anyone. I would agree that you spend the first 20 minutes in confusion because of its fast paced plot, but by the end, your sympathies for individual characters are all over the place. ALl i can say is go and see it, and give it your full attention, then you wouldn't be on this website, saying "it doesn't make sense". Enjoy the film, 10/10
