This is an odd quirky twisty indy style film that keeps the viewer engaged. Beatle Boyin (Michele Hicks) is being interrogated by Detective Randy Holt (Raffaello Degruttola). She is cool, calm, and quiet during his story telling which makes up the bulk of the film. Beatle is an assassin for hire. She has made a video and has a card advertising her assassination skill and towing service. There is also the printed brochure. Carla (Sarah Shahi) is a stripper/prostitute who Beatle hooks up with once a week. She also visits a "shrink" (Orlando Jones) who thinks her hitman persona is a fantasy. She meets Athena (Ever Carradine),a prospective client, and their relationship becomes complicated.
I had to keep watching the film as a quirky mystery with few characters. The humor is dry. The ending was unexpected.

Plot summary
Beatle is a quirky loner who refuses to live by society's rules. Her business cards read "Towing/Assassination," and she even has a hit man infomercial to go along with it. Her only human contact is with her psychiatrist and the stripper/hooker she employs once a week. Everything changes the night she meets Athena Klendon, a suicidal blonde with a secret. With a demented killer on their tail, courtesy of Athena's crooked former employer, the two quickly strike a bargain. Athena will change her life insurance policy to reflect Beatle as the beneficiary in exchange for her own execution. And while they wait for the paperwork to come through, Beatle will provide room and board and get some extra help on her infomercial. The two have no idea that Detective Holt has been on their case reviewing their every move. Just when he thinks he's got Beatle pinned beyond a shadow of a doubt, this comedic mystery takes a wild and unexpected turn.

Poor Foundation for A Movie With A Twisted Storyline - Actors OK - An Iffy Watch?
04/07/2019 It takes awhile to figure out what you're watching but "not knowing" and wanting to find out what this movies about keeps you there. In ending it was passable and OK to watch but definitely only once. Bon Appetit
Weird indie
I was looking for something to stream. This popped up with a decent cast, I thought I would give it a watch. Let's be clear, this is a low budget film. Even though it says Sony and the cast, it is a low budget indie. It was weird, but not bad. If you know what you are getting, it is entertaining. I understand some others being brutal with their reviews as they probably fell for the non stop action label. It is not an action film. There is little action. Not sure why they went that route as it is sure to make some mad. If you know this going in, it will not disappoint. They should have pushed it as an odd indie and then probably would have gotten better feedback. Anyway, it starts off a little slow, but it kept my interest, again it is weird. The ending you will love or hate for sure. I liked it, but understand how someone might get angry with it. It's a good watch for an afternoon as long as you know what you are getting....a low budget odd film. I truly think this is one you will either like or totally hate. thus the varying reviews.
