Order to Kill
She was forced to love the man she hated...or the man she loved would die!
R 1975 · 95 min · ★ 4.6 · Drama, Crime
An action drama about an assassin who is ordered to kill an old friend and the repercussions when he refuses. At the same time, although it has nothing to do with the plot, there seems to be a relentless undercurrent of sadism and masochism with a homosexual aura.
Directed by José Gutiérrez Maesso · Written by Massimo De Rita
