I can't see any reason why DC Hamilton and Brinna Kelly aren't household names yet. Both of the films I've seen that they've worked on together - this and "The Fare" - are outstanding in both writing and low-budget directing. I'm sold; they are both the real deal. This is an excellent little crime drama with a cool, unusual hook to it.
Hamilton knows how to get good performances out of actors, which is not as easy as it seems. And the art of making a tiny budget look great on screen is pretty rare too. This film definitely pulls that off.
Finally, let's especially hope that Brinna Kelly gets a lot more writing work before she's pulled in to full-time acting. She's obviously good at that, with a glamorous look and compelling personality, but she's an even better writer. Original story ideas combined with compelling characters - that's a rare thing to come by these days. This is highly recommended.

This is a bit of a strange movie. A few minutes in and we were undecided as it was a little offbeat! At first I was thinking, hmmm, what's the caliber of the acting here, but it doesn't take long to realise that it's actually great given it's intentions. This is a great mix of humour and action and really really original. I found it refreshing to see something that made me think "hey, there are still people out there making movies that involve a bit of thought!".
The 2 lead actors are both excellent in their roles and play well together. But it's also some of the minor parts that really made me grin. And a good ending. So rare. So pleasing when you feel that the end warrants the (easy) investment. I would say that anyone that thinks this is mediocre doesn't get the point of this movie. For us, it was a movie that made us feel like we were part of the fun. Not many movies make me chuckle a lot, this did. Suspend your belief and just enjoy it!

I was drawn to this film by the actress Brinna Kelly after watching her in 'The Fare'. I'm not quite sure that she's much of an actress yet I find her intriguing. She has an oriental attractiveness with an alluring presence. Grady, the assassin, seemed quite inept at times. Bungling his hits and getting out of scrapes by the mistakes of his captors. The film was entertaining and fun in a sort of B-movie way.
I sit through an awful lot of terrible movies looking for the unknown gems such as this movie.
this movie was original, it was funny, it was clever and just an enjoyable watch.
I don't want to go into detail about the movie and spoil it for you, but I highly recommend you give it a chance.
I have no affiliation with this movie other than watching it, so I'm not a shill for the movie, I just really enjoyed it! This is a movie I will definitely watch again, just a good old fun assassin movie!
This 10 line limit thing is silly, sometimes you just don't have anything more to say...

I watched this movie on accident rofl. i meant to watch the horror movie that came out in the same year with the same name. i was surprised when it turned out to be a fun action movie instead of a horror, i figured i made a wrong assumption based on the name. the movie wasn't horrible, it had some enjoyment, but was pretty sucky overall (1 viewing)

- TriviaCongenital Insensitivity to Pain Anhidrosis (CIPA), the condition Grady suffers from, is a real (though extremely rare) medical condition that, like in the film, means the person cannot process sensations. Naloxone, the drug that is used to cause Grady to feel, can have a similar effect on CIPA patients in real life, but unlike in the film, the effect only lasts a very short period.
