Best part of story, including ending:
It a morality play and it utilizes the beautiful old city as a centerpiece between two slightly opposing forces. It also looks at the effects that guilt has on people and if we can truly redeem ourselves.
Opinion about the main character:
He's not your typical tough guy hit-man without a conscience he displays a good bit of vulnerability, and he feels guilt over his actions.
