Chino

An intriguing cross between "The Godfather" and "Taxi Driver," Armstrong Millamena's crime thriller "Chino" plunges an honest man into the dark and dangerous world of organized crime.

When Chino loses his steady job, he finds himself with plenty of unwanted time on his hands as old friends he thought he'd left behind begin to re-emerge. When one of them takes a special interest in Chino's future, he sets off a string of events that lead to a tragic accident involving a five-year-old neighbor. The police blame Chino, and when he refuses to point them to the real culprit, he's forced to find refuge with his old friend's gang.

A reluctant gangster, Chino soon becomes the go-to guy for explosives and settles into a deadening life of desperation, believing he's now well beyond the point of no return. But when the gang goes one step too far, can he find the courage to break free-no matter the cost?

A raw, fast-action story of survival and payback, "Chino" is a thought-provoking mob thriller that will keep your heart engaged and your mind racing from the first to final page.
