Na Mira da Morte

(2013) Assassin's Run CRIME THRILLER

Misleading poster, misleading genre that may have been result of budget cuts. You look at the poster, presuming the star Christian Slater and the other guy standing next to him are going after some bad guys, and then when you watch it, it is nothing more what one can see on the poster. Anyways, because I had seen so many movies before this, even after using the fast forward button on some scenes, I was still be able to determine what happened as the movie itself is full of double crosses and double dealings.

The set up has subliminal images of a woman tortured and so forth during the credits, and then that same women is now being questioned by a police officer, and she begins by telling him a story. It is during then we are then see a wife, Maya (Sofya Skya) performing on a stage while daughter, Nina look on while her husband, an American oil tycoon in Russia, Michael Mason (Christian Slater) is missing his wife's ballet performance while stuck in a traffic jam. While waiting he is then receives a threatening phone call about his oil fortune and he chooses to ignore it.
