Claude is a disaffected young man who takes on the role of a contract killer as a way of earning cash fast. After ruthlessly proving his aptitude for his new job, Claude is handed a big assignment: to take out the lead witness at an upcoming criminal trial.
But after discovering that his next victim is a woman, and that women can prove difficult targets, Claude tries to back out. Soon, the hunter becomes the hunted.
Stylish despite its economy – the film was shot in just a week – Murder By Contract is an effective film noir that offers a distinctive, eccentric take on its dark subject matter.
