A Prayer for the Dying
Freedom always comes with a price.
Directed by Mike Hodges
Produced by The Samuel Goldwyn Company
A tense crime thriller about an IRA hitman seeking redemption through an unexpected bond with a priest, caught between his violent past and the danger it brings to those he's come to care for.
Martin, an I.R.A. hitman, is seen by a Catholic priest while carrying out a hit. He grows a bond with the priest and his niece. But his past and his former employers put all their lives in danger.
