Manuel, a professional hitman, kills the hitman sent to kill him and steals his briefcase, only to find that it contains documents concerning a blackmail operation. He then travels to Italy, seeks refuge in a bordello and falls for the lovely Vittoria.
Director/co-Writer Gabriele Lavia plays a hitman who has fallen out of favour with his bosses. They want him dead, and the only think keeping him alive is a list of names which they think lavia has in his possession, actually, he flushed it down the toilet. Bidding his time, Lavia hides out at a bordello, where he starts an affair with a mysterious women (Monica Guerritore).
Typical, cross and double-cross thriller, but is still fairly enjoyable. Not much in the way of gory violence on offer (when there is its effective) and don't expect an erotic, titillater, as its far too tame for that.
All in all, a solid enough movie, with a strong ending that wont disappoint. Certainly makes me want to check out Lavia's, "Scandalous Gilda" which I've read good things about.
