Cris Tapia Marchiori’s Argentinian crime thriller, Gatillero, was one of the best films to circulate the festival scene in 2025. Thus, when I gave the film its flowers for TACFEST, I meant every word I posted, and you can even catch a few of them in the official trailer for its North American release under the title, Gunman.
In a Buenos Aires barrio ruled by drug cartels, disgraced ex-hitman Galgo exits prison stripped of his former power. Desperate to reclaim his lost standing, he accepts a demeaning job from his old boss to intimidate a local business owner. But what should be a thirty-second task explodes into a chaos of double-dealing and violence. Pursued by enemies and his past, Galgo must navigate a single night to reclaim his identity before time runs out.
Marchiori directs a cast led by Sergio Podeley who absolutely carries this film from start to finish. Also starring are Julieta Díaz, Ramiro Blas, Mariano Torre, Matías Desiderio, Susana Varela, Gonzalo Gravano, and Bianca Di Pasquale.
Well Go USA will release Gunman on Digital beginning December 8. Watch the official trailer:
