Blast of Silence
CrimeDramaThriller77 min
Christmastime in New York should feel familiar to Frankie Bono, but when the hitman comes home for a contract killing, the city closes in on him instead. He moves through crowded streets, old neighborhoods, and chance reunions while trying to keep the job clean and impersonal. An old acquaintance and the pull of ordinary human contact start to crack the isolation he depends on. As the murder approaches, routine steps turn tense, small delays matter, and the city’s holiday bustle makes every move harder to hide. Written, directed by, and starring Allen Baron, the film stays tight on a killer whose return home becomes as unsettling as the job itself.
