![]() ![]() ![]() To be fair, the seeds of romance were (unsuccessfully) planted in En Brazos de un Asesino (aka In the Arms of an Assassin or, as it was titled in the United States, Killing Sarai) through Sarai's longing looks at Victor, even though he at first keeps her tied up or otherwise physically uncomfortable. But once the criminals have been taken care of and Sarai is truly free, that plot point goes out the window, and the film turns into a romance worthy of a Harlequin novel. Director MatÃas Moltrasio initially leads viewers to believe that Victor, an assassin with a heart of gold and his own code of ethics, will risk everything to save Sarai from Javier so that he can use her as leverage to regain custody of his current employer's lost daughter, also trapped by Javier. This movie is kind of a bait and switch: It starts out like an action thriller and then takes a hard turn into romance, but it doesn't succeed at either. ![]()
