About this film+

A professional assassin takes one last job to pay for a singer's eye surgery after he accidentally blinds her. The movie deals with themes of honor, guilt, and a strict moral code among criminals. The visual style is defined by stylized slow motion, gritty urban sets, and a cool blue palette.
