MovieNerd Score

Mob assassin Jeffrey is no ordinary hired gun; the best in his business, he views his chosen profession as a calling rather than simply a job. So, when beautiful nightclub chanteuse Jennie is blinded in the crossfire of his most recent hit, Jeffrey chooses to retire after one last job to pay for his unintended victim's sight-restoring operation. But when Jeffrey is double-crossed, he reluctantly joins forces with a rogue policeman to make things right.

The cinematography is gorgeous. The music is entrancing. The tension that leads up to every action scene is incredible, the emotional beats that drive the story are strong and relatable, and every action scene, every bullet shot, every explosion is more than earned. This is a straight up masterpiece.
