In the gradually decaying city Heaven's Valley, Adam Chaplin (Emaunele
De Santi) desperately tries to find out who has killed his girlfriend
Emily (Valeria Sannino), and to properly avenge her, he has made a dark
deal with a demon that makes him near invincible until the completion of
his mission. In the meantime, Denny Richards (Chiara Marfella, Christian
Riva), the gangster boss who has torched Emily to death because she has
owed him an insignificant sum of money, learns that Chaplin's on his
track. It's not that he's all that concerned about this as exposure to
some radioactive material when he was a child has made him near
invincible, and yet he hires hitman Mike Carrera (Monica Munoz, Wilmar
Zimosa) to take care of the problem as he doesn't want to get his own
hands dirty or sacrifice his loyal sons (Paolo Luciani, Giulio De Santi)
on what he perceives a broken-hearted avenger. But then again, he hasn't
got the slightest idea regarding the nature of Chaplin's mission of
vengeance ... Now one thing up front, Adam Chaplin is
definitely a film for those with an easily upset stomach, as it's an
extremely gory movie with a penchant for excessive and exaggerated
violence. And the nihilistic narrative approach might also not be for
everyone, not a predilection for faces uglified by clever use of
prosthetics. At the same time, Adam Chaplin is though a very
stylish movie very much reminiscent of apocalyptic comicbooks both in
style and in tendency to overplay things for visual effects. So certainly
not for everybody, but if above points sound intriguing to you, you're in
for a pretty unique trip for sure.
