    Show description

    In this labyrinthine murder mystery, an innocent man visiting a friend in New York City becomes embroiled in a dangerous series of events after being mistaken for the person he has come to the city to see. Upon arriving at the empty apartment of his old friend Nick, the unassuming Slevin (Hartnett, Black Hawk Down) is troubled to hear the voice of his missing friend's next-door-neighbor Lindsay (Liu, Shanghai Noon) expressing concern as to Nick's safety and whereabouts. Venturing into Lindsay's apartment, Slevin is attacked by a thuggish mob henchman and he quickly realizes that Nick is indeed in grave danger. Summoned by the big boss and accused of being the deeply-indebted Nick, Slevin's attempts to prove his identity are foiled by the fact that his wallet had been stolen upon arrival in the city. With time running out and a complex plot to assassinate one of the city's most powerful crime bosses slowly coming into focus, the arrival of a notorious hit-man named Mr. Goodkat (Willis, Die Hard 4.0) forces Slevin to step up his desperate search and reclaim his identity before he's forced to pay a debt that could cost him his life.

    Trivia 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.
