Overview
An assassin on a final assignment in Fuerteventura, to kill a man he has never met. When his target is delayed, he finds himself drawn to the island, people and a ghostly shipwreck. Instead of following protocol he stays. But when the target returns, the world has shifted. Before everything was simple, now nothing is.
Because of pacing and limited dialog, this movie won’t be for everyone. For much of the movie, we think we know the man on screen. Like the American Star, he is a man that is considering a resting spot. The last ten minutes of the movie puts a different lens on the movie, but the more I think about it, it is consistent with the earlier parts of the movie. I enjoyed it.
