Plot

When his aging mob boss is whacked, Charlie Swift, a loyal friend and hired gun, will stop at nothing to destroy the upcoming crew that took him out.

Sinekatalog’s take

A loyal hired gun goes after the crew that killed his boss, in a gritty, unhurried crime tale that cares more about weary men than gunfights. It is competent, a touch predictable, and carried by a grizzled tone. Neo-noir fans who appreciate understatement may enjoy it.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
