Assassination Nation [DVD] [Standard]

This explosive Eurospy thriller stars the criminally cool Henry Silva (The Hills Run Red, The Italian Connection, Code of Silence) as a man who must die twice in order to live. Time, memory and fear have no more meaning for Secret Service man John Chandler (Silva) as he awaits his ultimate fate on death row until he's offered an opportunity for resurrection.

Beautifully shot in scope by Erico Menczer (Machine Gun McCain, The Cat o' Nine Tails).
