Film
Synopsis: The fates
of an aging hitman (Frank Vincent, The Sopranos, Casino) and a washed up detective (Chicago
theatre veteran Danny Goldring) become entwined when one last job leads to one
last chance to settle an old score.
Twenty years ago, Lou Marazano (Frank Vincent, The Sopranos, Casino) was the deadliest triggerman in the notorious Chicago Outfit. When Lou’s jailed boss (four-time Golden Globe nominee Armand Assante) orders a wave of hits to cover up a conspiracy between city officials and the mob, Lou sees a chance to finance his retirement and relive his glory days. But does he still have what it takes? This neo-noir crime drama is an accomplished debut from first-time local filmmakers.
