KILL LIST Midnight

Unemployed for the lost eight months, suburban dad Jay is reluctant to use his natural gifts, but as the bills stock up and the day-to-day pressures mount, he realizes it’s time to get back on the horse and kill some people With his partner Gal riding shotgun, Jay works his way down a list of very bad men, finding that his roles as husband and father no longer allow him to view his contracts the some way. As the body count rises, he struggles to maintain the carefully constructed fiction of who he is now, even as his new employer seems intent on reminding him of the beast he once was. As he demonstrated in his genre-bending debut feature DOWN TERRACE, director Ben Wheatley understands what so many other practitioners of on-screen violence do not: we must core deeply about our monsters – or else they leave no scars.
