First time director Henry Bromell assembled a small but powerful cast to look at the world of a depressed hitman going through a mid-life crisis, whilst struggling to maintain his professional relationship with his father. The end of 'Panic' hit me with more poignancy than 90% of the films I've seen in the 21st century. I won't give it away, because it's a powerful moment, if you're ready for it.
A carefully orchestrated balance between psychological drama and black comedy, this film satisfies on several levels. Donald Sutherland puts in a solid performance as the archetypical overbearing father. William H. Macy portrays his son, the emotionally stunted Alex to perfection. Neve Campbell is stunning in the role of the catalytic strong Sarah, who once she enters into Alex's life, triggers a chain of events that unfold and lead Alex to self-knowledge, and the audience to an epiphany of the tragic sweetness of life itself.
In a nutshell - 'Panic' is a great character-driven movie, where stellar cinematography, along with a very subtle musical background, sets the detached mood for a truly underrated gem of a film. See it...

The sad assassin has been done so many times by Hollywood, one sometimes get the idea that America is stuffed full of miserable killers attempting to get therapy.
This was reasonably standard fare, with a neat touch of decent acting by the participants, it really did not glamourise killing, and the ending was not your usual money shot.
Well worth an evening in.
