A Man of Principle

About This Movie

A Man of Principle really digs into the gritty reality of 1948 Colombia, when political tensions were dangerously high. Directed by Francisco Norden, it’s a blend of action and drama that's hard to shake off. The pacing feels deliberate, building tension as the story unfolds around this cheesemonger turned hitman. The performances are raw and impactful, portraying a man caught in a brutal conflict that’s less about glory and more about survival. Practical effects are utilized effectively, capturing the stark violence of the time without overshadowing the character's emotional journey. There's a certain heaviness in the air, a mood that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s not your typical action flick; it’s a layered portrait of a tumultuous era.
