4.0

Garton, one of our greatest overlooked American trash auteurs, tries his hand at an erotic thriller about a hitman and a serial killer who, sort of, fall in love. But awakening a feeling like love begins to crowd out the sociopathy their callings require.  The sex scenes are hot (and there's a whole bundle of them) and the rest doesn't overstay its welcome. It does show, most of all, that Garton does have a feel for character, it isnt all gore (but there is that too.)
