Notes: ".....lonely hitman is living between world of evil of his boss and normal society like his buddy from school who now has a wife and child.....he is good at what he does but needs heroin and along sleep to get over the things that he's seen.....a chance meeting with a school chum leads to beers and invitations to dinner with the wife and kids.....he sees the life he now wishes he had.....the angst this guy goes through is heartbreakingly seen in his eyes at every moment.....the lead actor makes us believe it.....the style is nice but included a few too many EYES WIDE SHUT / David Lynch moments when sadists torture people.....what separates this film is the lead actor and the attraction he has not just for his friend's wife, but his friend's ordinary life.....haunting ending when he uses the final bit of his control to grab victory away from his enemy.....sad and inevitable....."
