Icarus
They wouldn't let him quit.
Directed by Dolph Lundgren
Produced by CineTel Films, Icarus BC Productions
A tense thriller about a former KGB assassin trapped between his violent past and his desperate desire for redemption, haunted by forces unwilling to let him escape.
Trained KGB assassin, Edward Genn (code name ICARUS), worked years ago as a sleeper agent in America. But when the Soviet Union collapsed, he quickly found himself in a foreign country with no one to trust. Determined to escape his muddled existence, Edward tries to start over. He assumes a new identity, starts a family and tries to start his own legitimate business that could potentially pull him out of his world of being a hitman.
