I went into this movie with an open mind and watched it till the end. Unfortunately, the movie just isn't that great. I didn't go to film school, I'm not complaining about the sound, camera angles, and lighting, they all seemed well enough; I've certainly seen much worse. It's the storyline that never drew me in.
There is a loose plot. Hitman meets girl he is suppose to ultimately kill, then takes a vested interest in her. The problem is at no point in the movie did I find myself with a vested interest in the characters, none of them seem that likeable or interesting. For instance, the movie offers a few lines of dialog to try in explain how Dean became a Hitman, but there isn't much clarity to it.
For someone's self produced movie though, the one solid feature is the fight choreography. The three stars I gave it are for the fight scenes alone. From his bio, Kirk Caouette has 25 years of stunt experience (to include some big movies) and it shows. They are well put together and fluid. However, a movie has to be more than it's action sequences.
The movie ultimately seems like a bad blend of Léon: The Professional meets John Wick. Ultimately it's just not very good.
