Panic (2000)

In the shadowy underbelly of a life punctuated by the crack of a gun and the echo of secrets, Alex, a melancholic hitman with soulful eyes, finds himself ensnared in the chilling cobwebs of his chosen profession. His life is a paradox of family ties and violent obligations, a dichotomy that sends him spiralling into the austere world of psychotherapy. As he unpacks his life's baggage, he reveals not only his lethal occupation, but also his burgeoning attraction to Sarah, a fiery young woman he encounters in the therapist's waiting room. Sarah, a quick-witted and edgy 23-year-old, might just mirror his attraction, but the reality of Alex's situation is a bitter pill to swallow. He's a married man, a dutiful father to an intelligent and precocious son, circumstances that prompt Sarah to maintain her distance. Through the lens of flashbacks, we glimpse Alex's initiation into the family business of murder, a path laid out for him by his father. His life takes a perilous twist when his father hands him his next mission: to kill his own therapist. Torn between his familial duty, his newfound feelings for Sarah, and his growing unease with his life, Alex finds himself at a crossroads. He repeatedly reaches out to Sarah, calling her, visiting her, as he wrestles with the monumental decisions that lie ahead. What will he do about the impending hit? How will he handle his complex relationship with his father, his crumbling marriage, and his own inner turmoil? In this compelling narrative, "Panic" (2000) delves deep into the psyche of a man caught between his dangerous past and a future teetering on the edge of redemption.
