Critics compared the film to Pulp Fiction, Memento, Rashomon, and in its political subtext to Marathon Man and Dirty Pretty Things (Variety). Told through a looping, non-linear narrative from each of the characters' points of view, the film reconstructs the stories of a Yugoslav hit man (Sergej Trifunovic), his former lover (Geno Lechner) and her police officer boyfriend (Peter Gevisser), as their paths cross in New York...

"The action is compelling, the film good looking, the acting first rate and the circumstances-- people from neglected nations loose in an alienating if not hostile urban landscape-- is moving..."
John Anderson, Variety

"The looping, nonlinear narrative structure may remind many of Pulp Fiction.... this stylish crime tale makes the New York scene glow with color-drenched beauty, menace, and mystery..."
2005 Tribeca FIlm Festival
