Set against Sun City, Las Vegas, Murder-Set-Pieces tells the story of a fashion photographer whose vocation is murder. Shot on 35mm film, Murder-Set-Pieces is a vicious assault on your senses. Director Nick Palumbo guides you through this voyeuristic nightmare of blood, sex and brutality.
Now the IMDB lists this baby as 105 mins - as is the latest Directors Cut DVD. Im not sure how it came to be 2 hours & 45 mins, but played from start to finish it does run in at 2 hours 45 mins.(Dont get excited its does NOT run that long!!!) Not sure if this is a Workprint (hence the timecode) or what it is. Either way its a great film, not to be missed.
