This routine execution falls apart as Keele struggles with pulling off his task due to a crisis of conscience. He quickly discovers that his new mark, Peyton (Alexia Fast), is the most difficult target of his career…
Reviews:
“There’s a decent sense of timing at play, with the performances (especially Hodgson) mining some surprising laughs out of their characters’ predicaments. While it may not be revolutionary, Morsi’s direction and the cast’s solid performances elevate a meandering script and infuse the morality play with enough character to make it engaging.” CBR.com
” …a reasonably good atmosphere and visual style. Despite the fact that the budget is very unlikely to be there, the film still manages to have a very professional look, which would make it interesting to see what director Reem Morsi would be able to do even more if they had a higher budget and better script. would have at its disposal.” Seal_Team1138 [translated from Dutch]
