Plot
Whistle depicts the dreary off-hours of an ultra-technological hit-man who becomes 'involved' in the life of one of his victims. The hit-man's wife is not only fully cognizant of her husband's day job but she is also the cold-blooded contact with his bosses when the conscience crisis sets in!
Sinekatalog’s take
A dry, offbeat short about a high-tech killer whose routine is disturbed by an unexpected bond with someone he is meant to remove. It balances deadpan humor with a sci-fi chill. A neat curiosity for fans of the director's later work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
