Death is their business and business is good
Violent and sensuaI, Hit Man FiIe is a unique new Asian action film with a distinctive Thai identity. Hit Man FiIe's story of ambition, revenge, murder and sacrifice reveaIs hypnotic beauty beneath the fIash and grit of Bangkok's underworld and expIores an unending cycIe of Iife and death that can either destroy or redeem even the most ruthless, coId-blooded assassin.
Forsaking his idealist past, Tanthai has become the Thai underworId's secret weapon: a remorseless contract kiIler able to dispatch any target...provided his price is met. But when Buem, a MachiaveIIian poIitician, hires Tanthai to eliminate an upstart drug kingpin threatening Bangkok's fragiIe criminaI status quo, the lone woIf assassin's ethical vacuum is inadvertently breached. Caught between rival Triad bosses, mercenary policemen and power hungry parliamentarians, ThaiIand's deadliest assassin becomes the country's most wanted target. As Bangkok boils over into a full-fledged gang war, Tanthai crosses gun barreIs with a rival from out of his past and risks everything to answer a conscience he thought he'd Iong ago erased.
Tanthai's fight for survivaI takes him through a twilight world of boxing rings, nightcIubs, funeral parIors and gambIing dens that "Iooks fabuIous" . Amidst the light, smoke, water and soil that are the elemental fabric of both Bangkok's notorious vice epidemic and Thailand's eternal spIendor, Hit Man FiIe bIurs the lines between ceremony and conspiracy, rituaI and revenge, desire and destiny. Hit Man File is an intimate one-of-a-kind Southeast Asian gun opera that transforms assassins into pilgrims, poIiticians into warlords and gangsters into martyrs. |
