A professional contract killer, haunted by visions of his violent past, spirals out of control. His work compromised as he reaches breaking point, he is forced to defend his family from his ruthless employers.
Malachi lacks the chops to realise his admirable ambitions; his debut doesn’t so much conk out, as never really get going.
This embarrassing slice of British nonsense, featuring the assassination of nonces and drug dealers, is rescued only by a moment of climactic comedy.
The struggle unfolds in a predictable and nasty way in a film that is technically polished but way too long and tiresome.
Craig Fairbrass plays an enforcer who wants to spend more time with his family in this standard Brit-crim thriller.
