A hitman for the Sicilian Mafia, Salvo is solitary, cold and ruthless.

What follows is an intense exchange fueled by adrenaline and fear between the killer and his witness, one that changes their two lives in an instant.

From then on, both haunted by their brief encounter, these two damaged souls will attempt to navigate their dangerous next steps side by side.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A soulful romance, an existential action flick and something of a miracle movie - the appealing slow-burner "Salvo" hovers at the crossroads of genre.
Fresh: Viewers looking for a shoot-em-up will be disappointed, but those hankering for an old-school Italian broodfest will find plenty to soak in.
Fresh: It's not the tale, but the telling of it, that distinguishes this Sicilian drama.
Rotten: The filmmakers' very particular sense of lighting and framing, though handsome, often exudes a formality that perpetually stifles the story's sense of spontaneity.
