Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down) presents a remarkably nuanced portrait of a man weighed down by the choices he’s made. It comes with the territory, since he was a gun for hire (his name is Price), someone who had made a living being paid to make other people’s problems go away. His problem now is that he can’t sleep, he’s restless, and uneasy about what to do next. When some thugs cross his path in a convenience store, it turns out that being a killer comes back just like riding a bicycle. The events bring him to the attention of a wealthy businessman named Lennox who needs his services. Apparently there’s someone who holds some evidence that doesn’t make Lennox look so good, evidence of a personal nature. Price takes the job, but isn’t prepared for what happens when he meets his target: a librarian named Sarah. Written by Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) and directed by newcomer Jeffrey Goodman, the story maintains a balance between a gripping thriller that employs some of the best traits of the genre, and a reflection of a weary, gruff man who has seen and done it all. Winner, Best Actress and Audience Award, 2008 San Diego; Special Jury Prize, 2008 Temecula Valley.
