Remarks: 

I love Mads Mikkelsen movies, so when this came to Netflix I had to watch it. Mikkelsen plays Duncan Vizla, one of the top assassins in the world. He is about to turn 50 and the 'company'he works for has a policy that assassins that turn 50 are forced to retire. On the day of his retirement, the company will have to give him a large sum of money out of the retirement fund. However the company seems to need that money and when Duncan dies before his 50th birthday, they do not have to pay.  This results in a death mark on Vizla's head.
