    • Synopsis
    • This movie opens when a 'man' dressed as Jesus interrupts a church sermon and shoots the preacher in front of this congregation. We soon find out that ‘Jesus’ in fact a deadly female assassin, Blake (Dominik Walo), and the preacher was molesting children from his church. He was a ‘verified target’, a virus, a bad guy; and so marked for termination. Blake is part of a unique team of assassins that follows a strict code of ethics in the execution of their contracts. But things get murky when she is called in to do a ‘hit’ outside of the accepted protocols.

      A high-profile case from a congresswoman (Maria Erwolter) wants to get rid of her ex-husband (Sebastian Hulk) because he done bad things. But Blake discovers he is innocent. The target is NOT verified, and a bigger conspiracy is afoot. Blake refuses to complete the contract. Fearing the repercussions from Blake’s action, the ‘Organization’ (Martin Wuttke) marks Blake as a Verified Target and sends other assassins (including Boban Marjanovic) to kill Blake and terminate the “virus”.

      This action film has been fabulously stylized by its director Milena Grujić creating rich tapestry of interesting well motivated characters. Although set in present day, the film has a retro, almost ‘cold war’ grittiness to it.
