Summaries

  • A terminally-ill crime boss known only as The Man hires a hit man named Frank to carry out his own assassination, as well as the assassination of The Woman he loves. When The Woman turns out to be Frank's long-lost lover, he turns against The Man and becomes the target himself.—Anonymous

Synopsis

  • An introverted hitman named Frank is hired to carry out a most unusual contract in this stylish neo-noir featuring Charles Durning, Michael Madsen, James Russo, and David Carradine. The Man is the biggest crime boss in the city, and his rule is absolute. When The Man discovers that he's terminally ill, he calls on Frank to put him out of his misery. Selfish and jealous, The Man doesn't want to die alone--when he goes, he wants his lover to follow behind. But The Man's lover isn't just your average gangster's moll; she's Frank's long-lost love. Upon making this shocking discovery, Frank alters the contract to make himself the next mark. Now, before Frank and his love can escape The Man's suffocating grip, they will have to survive a hail of gunfire while defeating every assassin that comes their way. [D-Man2010]

    When the city's crime boss, known only as "The Man," discovers that he's terminally ill, he enlists Frank to carry out his own assassination. "The Man," however, is selfish and jealous, and doesn't want to die alone, and makes it clear to Frank that he is to take out the woman he loves too. When Frank discovers that The Woman is his own long lost lover, Frank alters the job. In an action-packed chain of events, riddled with dark humor and visual spectacle, Frank and The Woman take on their enemies. [D-Man2010]
