In New York, when the unlucky newcomer Slevin arrives in the apartment of his friend Nick Fisher for a leisure time, he is mistakenly taken as being his friend, who debts money to two powerful bosses of the criminal world. He is pressed by The Boss to kill the gay son of The Rabbi, as a payback for the death of The Boss's son. Nick's next door neighbor Lindsay, who works in the morgue, tries to help Slevin and they fall in love for each other.

Trivia

+ Josh Hartnett (Slevin) lived with writer Jason Smilovic and his girlfriend in New York while the script was being written. Smilovic said that he thought of having Slevin wear a towel a lot of the time because he saw Hartnett in one so often. More so it added a vulnerable quality to Slevin.
+ The hand X-ray in the coroner's office is the director's hand.
+ The name of the film comes from an episode title of "The New Shmoo" (1979). Shmoo is also referenced by Morgan Freeman in the movie. However, Morgan Freeman's description of a Shmoo is a paraphrase of the standard version from Li'l Abner by Al Capp who introduced the fantasy beast in 1948.
+ On promotional material for the film, Ben Kingsley's credit included his KCVO title. At first, the actor was singled out for some criticism as such things are usually omitted from professional credits. It transpired that this was a mistake by a studio executive, who was unfamiliar with the British honours system.
+ SPOILER: An alternate scene was filmed in which Slevin kills Lindsey but was considered too dark.
+ SPOILER: (Warning! Also contains a spoiler for House of Sand and Fog (2003)): It is the second movie in which Ben Kingsley dies by having a plastic bag over his head. The other one was House of Sand and Fog (2003), although in that case, he did it to himself.
+ SPOILER: In the end, the pseudonym alias of Slevin; "Kelevra" which is Hebrew for 'bad dog' ties with Bruce Willis's character, Smith/Mr. Goodkat.
+ Lucy Liu admited that she developed a crush on Josh Hartnett during the filming stage.
+ Josh Hartnett and director Paul McGuigan worked together in Wicker Park together. Director liked working with Josh so much that he asked him to be in Lucky Number Slevin.
+ The only scene where a stunt double was used for Josh Hartnett was the bit where Josh's character was pushed off the truck.
+ The film's title in Australia is The Wrong Man. This is the title of a 1956 Hitchcock film in which the lead character has a case of mistaken identity, a theme which many Hitchcock films, and indeed this film, share.[3] In fact, the main character's plight in North by Northwest is referenced by The Rabbi as being similar to Slevin's.
+ Bruce Willis and Josh Hartnett were in another movie together, Sin City. Hartnett was a hitman in that movie, too.

Goofs and Mistakes

+ Continuity: When Slevin is eating the first sandwich he eats in the movie, it changes from being half eaten to having only one bite taken out of it.
+ Anachronisms: Towards the beginning of the film at the horse track they show a horse fall during a race. In one of the scenes you can see a new John Deere tractor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. The scene was supposed to be set in 1979.
+ Factual errors: When Lindsey takes a picture of Smith, she steps in front of him to take his picture. When she later shows the picture to Slevin, it is a side shot of Smith.
+ Revealing mistakes: At the beginning of the movie, when Slim Hopkins gets shot in front of the door of his car, the window's glass is already broken before the bullet goes through him into it.
+ Crew or equipment visible: During the opening credits when Nick is walking towards the camera to sit down, you can see the reflection of the camera man moving around in the back of the front left blue chair.
+ Miscellaneous: When Max and his son are sitting in the car at the racetrack, the vehicles are parked too close together. There is only about eight or ten feet between rows of cars. There is no way a driver would be able to maneuver a car out of a parking spot.
+ Miscellaneous: When Willis is shooting two silenced pistols at the men coming through the wall, the pistol in his left hand has a bent silencer. It is obviously bent down at about 15 degrees and would be dangerous to the shooter if shooting anything but blanks.
+ Continuity: When Lindsay leaves Slevin (after their initial meeting) carrying a glass cup containing sugar, the cup is only 1/4 filled. When she (immediately) returns, to see if he has, again, removed his towel, the cup is about 2/3 filled.

Slevin: No
The Boss: Then how do you know, I have the wrong guy? Maybe I want to give you a $96.000 dollars. In that case, do I still have the wrong guy?

+ Slevin: This isn't the first time this has happened, you know.
Lindsey: You mean this isn't the first time a crime lord asked you to kill the gay son of a rival gangster to pay off a debt that belongs to a friend whose place you're staying in as a result of losing your job, your apartment, and finding your girlfriend in bed with another guy?
Slevin: No, this is the first time THAT happened, but Nick has been painting me into corners since we were kids.

+ Mr. Goodkat: Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest in Monte Carlo and came in third; that's a story.

+ Lindsey: I was thinking that if you're still alive when I get back from work tonight... maybe we could go out to dinner or something?

+ Lindsey: I'm short for my height.
