Money, Money, Money. The root of all evil but also makes the world go round. Struggling for money seems to be a universal theme these days and it really hits home in these films from around the world.

Based on the best-selling "Hit Man" book series by Grand Master of mystery, Lawrence Block. Starring Richard Kind (BOMBSHELL, ARGO), Karen Allen (A STAGE OF TWILIGHT, CIFF 2022), William Sadler (A STAGE OF TWILIGHT, CIFF 2022), and Peter Reigert (THE MASK, LOCAL HERO).
