THE HITMEN DIARIES: CHARLIE VALENTINE

“Charlie Valentine was a gangster, a gunfighter, a womanizer and a pretty fine chef...”

The film chronicles the exploits of the title character, Charlie, played by Raymond J. Barry (Training Day) a career criminal intent on scoring one last big pay day. When his "perfect crime" goes bad, Charlie flees to Los Angeles to hide out with his estranged son, Danny, played by Michael Weatherly. What ensues reveals the true nature of some of the most unsavory of characters.
