Steve Mouzakis in The Suicide Theory.
An Australian micro-budgeted thriller about a tortured hit man and his willing target was released in 10 cinemas and online in the Us last week, garnering positive reviews, but is yet to secure distribution at home.
Freestyle Releasing bought the Us rights to The Suicide Theory, the second film from director Dru Brown (his first was 2012 horror-thriller Sleeper), after it won the grand jury prize at the Dances With Film festival in La and the audience award at the Austin Film Festival.
Scripted by Michael J. Kospiah and shot in Brisbane, it stars Steve Mouzakis as Steven, a professional assassin who is asked by a prospective client named Percival (Leon Cain) to take him out.
Percival had tried to bump himself off numerous times without success, sustaining more bodily damage with every attempt, and Steven seems unable to finish the job.
