Kiss of Death

Kiss of Death

Little Junior Brown. He rules the streets. He owns the game. But he doesn't own all of the players.

1995101 min5.7 / 10

A dark neo-noir crime thriller about an ex-con trapped between a psychopathic gangster and federal pressure, where paranoia and moral compromise drive the narrative.

Jimmy Kilmartin's an ex-con who's trying to go straight. But he can't say no to a quick driving job because his so-called friend's life is threatened. The job is for Little Junior Brown, a violent and powerful villain. When things go wrong, Jimmy is left to do the time, and his whole life is turned upside-down, but if that wasn't enough, the cops won't leave Jimmy alone when he gets out... They want Little Junior Brown.
