The film depicts the intense battle between two criminal gangs, with black men on one side and Jewish on the other. In a case of mistaken identity, Slevin, an innocent man visiting a friend in New York City, becomes involved in the investigations into a murder. He was wrong accused and during the investigations he discovered a plan commited by one of the most powerful organised crime bosses in New York.
Paul McGuigan was a successful photographer in Glasgow before branching out into television commercials and documentary films.
In 1998 he won the Best Newcomer Award from the Royal Television Society for his short film, THE GRANTON STAR CAUSE. He expanded this into a trilogy based on stories by Irvine Welsh and released it as his first feature length film, THE ACID HOUSE (1998). The movie won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Stockholm Film Festival, the AMC Audience Award and the Grand Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver at Fantasporto and was named Best Film at the New York Underground Film Festival.
McGuigan next directed GANGSTER Number 1 (2000), THE RECKONING (2003) and WICKER PARK (2004).
