Fun Facts
- The title 'Slevin' is a palindrome (reads the same backward as forward), a nod to the film's complex and symmetrical plot. The character Slevin also wears a green suit throughout the film, symbolizing both his luck (green in American culture) and his outsider status in the criminal underworld. Bruce Willis' character 'The Rabbi' is named after the famous rabbinical leader Maimonides, known for his philosophical works.
