RETRIBUTION HAS A NAME
By Georges S. Salo

GENRE: Action, Crime, Thriller
LOGLINE:

An assassin, at the top of his game, continues about his work watching with passing interest as the financial markets crumble. When his friend's elderly aunt commits suicide after losing her life savings...well it just got personal. He now dispenses his brand of retribution to those few whose greed created the financial crisis that caused the distress and grief to so many.

SYNOPSIS:

"Retribution Has a Name" is similar to films such as "No Country for Old Men" and "Man on Fire". It is an Action packed Thriller/Drama that takes place during a financial crisis. It follows a course of action of a Ponzi scheme's creation, which results in a financial crisis. The demise leaves many people destitute with nowhere to turn; that is, until an assassin watching from the side-line is compelled to act.

The assassin's last contract causes him to begin reassessing the direction his life has taken. A journey into who he is. He's simultaneously confronted with his friend's elderly aunt committing suicide as a direct result of the Ponzi scheme. His friend's elderly aunt has lost her life savings to a bank involved in the scheme and her home is foreclosed, with nowhere to turn she commits suicide. This is the final straw, the assassin can no longer tolerate his life's course and the degree of thievery wrought by the financial institutions - he decides to help.

Juxtaposed to the financial catastrophe, the elite assassin will take matters into his expert hands and use his skills to confront the individuals whom created and contributed to the Ponzi scheme. He forcibly reclaims their ill-gotten gains made from the scheme and donates these funds to a charitable foundation that helps the millions left distressed. Thereby mitigating his brand of retribution.

Tagline: The essence of vulgarity is greed and there is no torrent like greed.
