Didn't know what to expect....but was gladly impress and astonished with the Lone Man character. A must see!! Great scenario An imaginative script, filled with silence Excellent soundtrack and effective storyboard I'm still confuse about the plot and it ended, I would like to understand the whole purpose of the hit-man job's, since in the end we still don't know who is Bill Murray nor the real intention behind the killing. This is the type of movie where you would like to have a sitting with the producer and the writers in order to discuss the movie and ask a thousands of questions to see if you were actually right about your first thought concerning the ending.
