Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Vincke and Verstuyft are one of the best detective teams of the Antwerp police force. When they are confronted with the disappearance of a top official and the murder of two prostitutes, the trail leads to the almost retired assassin Angelo Ledda. Since Ledda starts showing symptoms of Alzheimer's, it's getting more and more difficult to complete his contracts. When he has to murder a 12-year old call-girl, he refuses and becomes a target himself. While Vincke and Verstuyft are chasing him and counting the corpses, Ledda is taking care of his employers.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The director (a big RAFC supporter) insisted that actor Gene Bervoets (a Beerschot supporter) whistle the anthem of RAFC in a scene where he's in the car (Beerschot and RAFC are both football clubs in Antwerpen, with 100 years of enmity dividing their fans). Gene Bervoets, however, agreed to do as requested immediately. Since his character is a complete bastard, he thought it quite logical that he would be an RAFC-fan. See more » |
| Goofs | Bieke's father who gets shot resisting arrest at the beginning of the film, is clearly shot on his left side of the chest. But in the shot right before he lays still, we see the gunshot wound on the other side, then it flips back again when he's down. This was a deliberate act by the director, paying tribute to John Wayne westerns where the chase between Indians and Cowboys was flipped (caused by money problems between director and producers).

Freddy Verstuyft:
[while practicing his French]
Vincke, why do you have to know French to pass the commisioner's exam? Tom Coemans: To be able to read the menus in the fancy restaurants, Freddy. See more » |
