Panic

Aroview: There is more than meets the eye in this curiously pitched black comedy concerning a well-dressed contract killer (Macy) who seeks refuge from his soul-destroying job and domineering father in therapy sessions.

Nice twists follow after he is ordered by Dad to kill his psychiatrist (Ritter), setting in motion a melancholy train of unfortunate events. Despite a premise made overfamiliar by THE SOPRANOS, debut dir. Bromell offers enough sardonic dialogue along the way to mark out his own bittersweet territory.
