A hitman named Charles (Brian Levine) completes
his 100th career job and decides it’s time to put away his guns and
retire to the sunny Cote d'Azur. Some of his fellow killers, though, aren’t as
willing to see him walk away from the killing game until they settle some personal scores. Throw an odd
romance involving a hot young cleaning lady with a psycho Scottish punk boyfriend
into the story and you have a recipe for an original, and highly entertaining,
action comedy. Director Kris McManus (Travellers) makes the bold choice to film
his story in black and white – gorgeous black and white to be exact --- which
gives the film a throwback noir feel that clashes nicely with the over-the-top
violence of the film. The acting is first rate, from Levine’s cool/confused killer
to the not-so-dumb blonde antics of Celia Muir as the cleaning lady.
