Quotes
[first lines]
Russo: What do you think?
David Flowers: It's a professional job. Who did this had imagination.
Russo: Come on, you don't need an imagination to kill people.
David Flowers: Oh yes you do. I mean, they come to their job just like a plumber or a carpenter. I mean, have you ever seen a plumber look in your eye when he's on the job?
Russo: No.
David Flowers: Why? Because he doesn't give a shit who you are. He's just a service man; he's in love with his tool, just like a killer. And killing is just a job like any other job. Except for at some point you need to become creative, or life starts to suck.

Exceptional plot / great cinematography

I was very impressed by this psychological thriller set in downtown Los Angeles. The story from Director and Screenwriter Hamlet Sarkissian is an exceptional one; and Director of Photography Haris Zambarloukos brilliantly captures the mood of the film and the actors with every shot. The crime scene reconstruction of a mob killing into the Last Supper is a genius work of art. Also impressive is a slow motion bullet shot piercing a body. Beautiful and talented Spanish actress Ariadna Gil delivers an excellent performance next to Adam Terese. V.J. Foster and Cully Fredricksen also deliver very real characters as corrupt "scummy" homicide detectives.
