Summary

Adaption of the Martin Booth novel “A Very Private Gentleman”.  The novel, which was adapted for the screen by Rowan Jaffe (”28 Days Later”), is described as a “creepy psychological suspense” story and follows an assassin “to a rural village in southern Italy where he poses as a quiet artist who paints miniatures of butterflies and has traveled to the area to capture a unique native specimen.” The assassin has but one more assignment to carry out though, of course, romantic entanglements and local friendships complicate his task.
