Really good Flemish crime drama about an aging hitman with Alzheimers who turns against his employers when asked to whack a child prostitute. What seemed a straight forward job suddenly became a matter of hitman morality and honor as he struggled to punish the perpertrators who had much to hide. Jan Decleir, rugged and convincing, put in a superb performance of the hitman finally thinking of retirement. The story encompassed hitmen, the sinning Flemish elite, the good cops, the bad cops, and a few twists along the way.

Worth a see.
