Viewing Notes
When I saw that Whistler box set announced by Indicator I wanted to watch one having never seen any. It’s an unusual angle with the lead actor portraying a different character in each installment so I’m curious how it plays across the entire series. I do like the story here and have seen it done in other films (hiring an assassin to take his own life).
