About This Movie

The Loner (2019) dives into the mind of Frank Rizzo, a hit-man grappling with his past and the shadow of a friend’s murder that haunts him. The atmosphere is thick with tension and regret, really capturing that gritty vibe you'd expect from a crime drama. Kris Salvi's direction conveys a somber tone, with pacing that allows for some introspective moments, letting the weight of Rizzo's choices settle in.
