Review by Guifré Margarit i Contel | 19 April 2023

This movie simply tries too hard and does not deliver in barely any capacity.

The intended picturesque characters are boring, the action (sometimes subverted by the editing) leaves you cold, and the intended drama and surrealism do not bring anything special to the table.

For a film with a similar premise albeit a different approach, you will be better off watching Aki Kaurismäki’s I Hired a Contract Killer (1990).
