Death by Shooting

About This Movie

Death by Shooting, from 1987, presents a gritty look at political assassination during a tumultuous time in Iran. The film dives into the tense atmosphere of February 1965, and you can almost feel the weight of the moment as Seyed Ali Andarzgou and his accomplices await their fate outside the parliament. The pacing is methodical, building up the dread that culminates in the assassination of Hasan Ali Mansour. The practical effects, while not overly polished, add a sense of rawness to the action that feels authentic. Performances are solid, especially the lead, who really embodies the desperation and conviction of his character. It's not a typical action flick; it’s more a reflection on loyalty, betrayal, and the high stakes of political unrest.
