Well Go USA Entertainment brings Gunman, a gritty Argentine crime thriller filmed as one continuous shot, to Digital December 8. Directed by Cris Tapia Marchiori, the film follows a disgraced former hitman whose attempt to reclaim his reputation quickly turns into a violent fight for survival.
Set in the criminal underworld of Buenos Aires, Gunman unfolds over a single night, using its real-time structure and continuous-shot filmmaking to create an intense, immersive experience. What begins as a seemingly simple intimidation job soon spirals out of control, leaving one man caught between dangerous enemies, shifting loyalties and the consequences of his past.
The story centres on Galgo, a former hitman recently released from prison. Having lost the standing he once enjoyed in the criminal world, he accepts a low-level assignment from his former boss: intimidate a local business owner. But a job expected to take only seconds becomes a night of betrayal, escalating violence and unexpected complications.
With enemies closing in and his old life threatening to pull him back under, Galgo must find a way to survive while trying to reclaim some sense of identity and purpose.
