Synopsis – What to Expect from “I Hired a Contract Killer”
I Hired a Contract Killer is a 1990 drama-comedy film directed by Aki Kaurismäki and starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, Margi Clarke, and Kari Vaananen.
The film follows Henri Boulanger (Jean-Pierre Léaud), a middle-aged Frenchman who is facing a mid-life crisis and is despondent about his life. He decides to hire a contract killer to end his misery, but soon regrets his decision and attempts to stop the killer from carrying out his mission.
The film follows Henri as he attempts to track down the killer and find a way to stop him. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a young woman named Anna (Margi Clarke) who takes a liking to him. As Henri searches for the killer, he also begins to find a new outlook on life.
The film culminates in an unexpected twist as Henri discovers that the killer he hired is actually his own son, who had been sent away as a child and had been hired to kill him by his ex-wife. The film ends with Henri and his son reconciling and beginning a new life together.
I Hired a Contract Killer is an offbeat comedy-drama that offers a unique take on the classic contract killer trope. The film is both funny and touching, and its themes of redemption and second chances are sure to resonate with viewers.
