Hit Man File

Death is their business andibusiness is good

Violent and sensual, Hit Man File is a unique new Asian action film with a distinctive Thai identity. Hit Man File´s story of ambition, revenge, murder and sacrifice reveals hypnotic beauty beneath the flash and grit of Bangkok´s underworld and explores an unending cycle of life and death that can either destroy or redeem even the most ruthless, cold-blooded assassin.

Forsaking his idealist past, Tanthai has become the Thai underworld´s secret weapon: a remorseless contract killer able to dispatch any target...provided his price is met. But when Buem, a Machiavellian politician, hires Tanthai to eliminate an upstart drug kingpin threatening Bangkok´s fragile criminal status quo, the lone wolf assassin´s ethical vacuum is inadvertently breached. Caught between rival Triad bosses, mercenary policemen and power hungry parliamentarians, Thailand´s deadliest assassin becomes the country´s most wanted target. As Bangkok boils over into a full-fledged gang war, Tanthai crosses gun barrels with a rival from out of his past and risks everything to answer a conscience he thought he´d long ago erased.

Tanthai´s fight for survival takes him through a twilight world of boxing rings, nightclubs, funeral parlors and gambling dens that "looks fabulous" (Variety). Amidst the light, smoke, water and soil that are the elemental fabric of both Bangkok´s notorious vice epidemic and Thailand´s eternal splendor, Hit Man File blurs the lines between ceremony and conspiracy, ritual and revenge, desire and destiny. Hit Man File is an intimate one-of-a-kind Southeast Asian gun opera that transforms assassins into pilgrims, politicians into warlords and gangsters into martyrs.
