John (Don Worley) is a professional hitman, and probably one of the best in the business - but of late he has been thinking about retiring, as he has a wife (Stephanie Parker) and daughter (Miriam Spunpkin) whom he wants to spend more time with, and he's getting tired of having to lie to them about his profession. So today's assignment might actually be his last job. But while prepüaring for the hit in his hotel room,  somebody's taking a shot at him through the window, and shortly afterwards he receives a call from a supressed number, a call from his hitman (Dennis Zlobinski) who announces he will kill him tonight. Now this is unexpected, but being at the wrong side of a gun is actually nothing new for a guy in John's profession, so he manages to remain calm during the call and tries trick after trick to make the other hitman reveal himself, as he's sure his experience can triumph over his adversary's pure nerve. But that guy is anything but naive, and he has chosen to play with John a bit to extend his enjoyment of the situation - so he, among other things, sends him a prostitute (Joclyn Hales) strapped to a timebomb and a policeman (Mark Christopher Lawrence) up to John's room, just to keep him distracted, and the longer this goes on, the more John runs out of options ...

Mostly, this film is just one guy in a room on his phone, so in theory this shouldn't be very exciting - But A Time for Sunset is proof of how much a good script can get out of very little, as long as the premise is strong, the storytelling swift, and the film doesn't over-reach but keeps things relatable and believable. And a smart directorial effort gets the most out of the film's limited locations while Don Worley makes carrying a film like this look easy. So in all, very cool thriller entertainment.
