There are certain classic film story lines, and this movie uses one to very good effect. The protagonist is a contract killer with a strong value system. One day, when he is over 60, he runs up against a job he cannot complete (think the first Bourne movie or The Professional). As a result, his co-worker is required to kill him, and he turns on his co-worker and the people who hired him.
What makes this film different and fun is the age of the killer, and the fact that he is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. The story may be well traveled, but it has an interesting twist.
Also, the supporting cast is fun, and the police corruption portrayed is just amazing. I was entertained.
Jan Decleir plays the killer - he's fantastic. The movie is in French and Dutch.
