Spoilers ahead
Dillon, Val Kilmer works as a cleaner for a ruthless London gangster named Eddie, and the story opens in a rain-soaked Los Angeles where a late-night call from Ray Burns, Mick Rossi, pulls him into a dangerous moment. Ray has just been shot and is fighting to stay alive long enough to tell his would-be rescuer what to do. After a flashy opening title sequence that tracks Dillon’s drive to the scene, he reaches a house where Ray lies on a sofa, fading fast. Dillon does what he’s asked to do—he removes the remaining traces of Ray’s presence, loads him into a car, and torches the house to destroy any evidence.
