Dying of the Light

Bucharest. Winter chill. A ticking clock. Evan Lake, forced into retirement, won't let it stand. Against orders, the ex-CIA operative tracks his old enemy, a terrorist believed to be dead. Obsession and a degenerative condition blur the line. Schrader’s world-weary thriller evokes the fatalism of Melville.
