Soundless (lautlos) is about a hit man named Vicktor that falls for a one night stand that just happened to sleep with one of Victor's victims. Nina is sleeping in the victims bed just feet from Vicktor's 'soundless' hit. A detective named Lang that is sent in to solve the case, because of his ability to form close connections with the psyche of the hit man. Lang trains snipers how to kill, and formulates strategies on how to catch Victor using mild CSI like tactics. Lang discovers Victor's true identity and his unhappy childhood as Felix, the son of a gun maker who met an untimely end. Vicktor's mentor Martin is an old arms dealer friend of his dead father who gets the hit list and passes it on to Vicktor. In 'The Matador' style, Vicktor is racing against time to perform his last hit consisting of the very well guarded man who ordered the hit on Vicktor and Martin. Victor plans this hit while wooing Nina, hiding from Lang, and avoiding the hit men out to get him. Will Nina and Vicktor make the hit and escape from Lang to paradise found? The almost emotionless style fits well with the theme and should not be mistaken for bad acting. Soundless is definitely up to modern standards in film making.
