Synopsis

It's the year 2004.

A company called Cortex exists. It advertises its services by way of the Internet. The role of this organisation is simple: if you want somebody dead, simply push a few buttons and pay. The organisation collects the money and immediately finds the best professional hit man for the job. The killers are the first human beings to be implanted with a miniature "Eyecam". This permits them to record their work. Their work is then downloaded, shown to the client and ultimately sold by Cortex to those who can afford it.

Tom Lawson is one of these Cortex killers. He doesn't know why he has to kill these people. He only knows he has to do it and follows the orders.

He never asks questions. And the only reason he does it is for the money. He has just been commissioned to kill a little black kid. But today this killing will lead him to an unexpected love story and to his last days within the organisation.

Synopsis

Two brothers return to the home town they left years before.  They are close, but very different: Richard is strong and purposeful, Anthony younger, more hesitant. Everything Richard does, Anthony innocently mimics. He is slightly retarded and completely in awe of his brother, who in turn is very protective of him.
 
They set up camp in the hills overlooking the town, reminiscing over their shared past. But they're not here to reminisce. Richard is here for revenge.
 
He knows who he wants and he knows where they live. The town he left eight years ago is still run by the same gang of small-time drug dealers and thugs. The threat of his presence is enough to instill suspicion and paranoia. Why is he back? What does he want? Who is he after?
 
One by one, he tracks them down, striking fear into their hearts and turning them against one another. As the gang falls apart, we learn the terrible truth about what went before and how a brother's love inspired violent retribution.

Synopsis

Based on real events, Deadlines is a surreal, harrowing, sometimes darkly comic thriller set in wartime Beirut. Alex Randal, a young reporter with far more bravado than experience, arrives in the war torn city to cover the deadly double bombing of America's US Marine barracks and France's paratrooper base. In the mayhem he meets Julia Muller, a beautiful, enigmatic photographer. Like Beirut itself, nothing with Julia is what it seems. Alluring and wildly self-destructive, Julia feeds Alex a tip on a story that, in his eagerness, he runs after only a cursory check. The story, revealing that a murdered Lebanese Army captain was in fact an Israeli spy, puts him on the front page of newspapers around the world. It also leads to a series of deadly reprisals that, at first, seem to confirm the story.
 
Alex and Julia grow closer as they work together, but signs of a dark secret in Julia's past start to emerge. Attracted and intrigued, Alex pursues her; the closer he gets, the more dangerous she seems to become. Alex's world comes crashing down when he learns that Julia's tip was bogus, that his story was false - making him partially responsible for the slaugther that ensued. Alex then faces the starkest choice of his life: leave Lebanon beaten, broken and humiliated or risk his life to discover the truth behind the web of lies. With danger lurking at every turn, Alex tries to right the wrong he committed and, in the process, finally becomes the reporter he set out to be. In a nail biting finale, Alex helps Julian overcome her own deadly dilemma, allowing both characters to find redemption amidst the rubble of the city.
