Story
Clint Harris is one of the best hired Killers of the Organisation but he ´s done with it and wants to leave the business. The Organisation gets him for a last job to get rid of a traitor and this time even with a partner. The target is hard to locate because that person has done a face-change operation. The two Killers are on the hunt but after some time it is unclear who to trust and how to finish the mission……
The film’s seriousness, together with the cool visuals and slow pace, positions “Tecnica di un Omicidio” more in the direction of Jean-Pierre Melville’s “Le Samourai” (1967) then the usual direction of Eurocrime movies.
„Hired Killer“ is a impressive Gangster movie with an american look, an outstanding cast and with a fantastic score.

Story
Trick scams and thefts are part of everyday life in Rome – a world in which Nico Giraldi (Tomas Milian) is very familiar. The full-bearded long-haired man doesn’t show that he is a policeman. But that is deceptive, because Giraldi, whose mother was a prostitute and who grew up in the streets of Rome, knows his crooks and knows how to get hold of them. But when two little thieves accidentally steal the briefcase from the American Norman Shelley (Jack Palance), the situation changes. Officially, Shelley does not turn on the police because there are supposedly only worthless things in the briefcase, but when the thieves open the case, they know it will be dangerous. Soon one of them will be brutally murdered …
The first “Monnezza” and a true Poliziottesco starring Tomas Milian and Jack Palance!

OVERVIEW
Prog doom drummer du jour Andrew Prestidge branches out into the field of electronic music with his solo synthesizer project MORLOCK!
After several years spent holding down the drum stool with legendary doom metal acts Angel Witch, Electric Wizard and Warning – not to mention the prog rock bands Zoltan, The Osiris Club and Suns Of The Tundra – Andrew sat down with his keyboard collection, a 4-track recorder and a selection of sonic screwdrivers to create a new kind of music.
The space-rock jams contained on ‘Ancient Paths’ are influenced as much by retro synth artists Kraftwerk, Heldon, Tubeway Army and OMD as they are by the sci-fi soundtracks of John Carpenter and the folk-horror that seeps into every corner of the British Isles. Andrew’s previous experience in live-soundtracking silent films (performing at Stewart Lee’s ATP Festival with Suns Of The Tundra to a 1919 film detailing Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica) and reworking vintage horror scores with Zoltan guide the expansive, all-instrumental melancholy of the record. Acoustic guitars, analog synthesizers and electronic percussion coalesce into a retro-futurist soundscape for the mind’s eye.
Many of the songtitles reference occult literature and cinema: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (‘Rotwang’s Furnace’), Phantasm (‘Morningside’), H.P. Lovecraft’s Colour Out Of Space (‘Blasted Heath’), the comics of Jack Kirby (‘Kirby Oberon’). The band name itself is a nod to H.G. Well’s classic 1895 novel ‘The Time Machine’.
The Wind in the Willows recast for the 22nd century? Quatermass and the Pit relocated to Summerisle? The music of Morlock bridges the past and the future, re-imagining both into a blend of electronic perfection.
