A character makes a movie

It's hardly a well-structured, well-thought-out film noir. (A professional killer with a very competent job was silenced by his employer in a confused way. How many people will be willing to "loyalty and serve" for such an employer in the future).
But in my opinion, it is a very charming noir film.
Because it's extremely successful in creating a hitman who truly deserves the sympathy of its audience (note that this is rarely the case in American noir). A very lonely soul. An angel who fell into hell without waiting for redemption.

Blast of Silence quotes

  • Narrator: You know the type. Second-string syndicate boss with too much ambition and a mustache to hide the fact he has lips like a woman. The kind of face you hate.

  • Narrator: You don't have to know a man to live with him. But you have to know a man like a brother to kill him.
