Panic Movie Review 2000

Hangdog Macy is perfect as middle-aged Alex, who is not having your usual midlife crisis since he's a hit man. As a matter of fact, he learned his trade from his ruthless dad Michael (Sutherland), who still calls the shots. But Alex has been keeping the truth from his wife Martha (Ullman) and his beloved son Sammy (Dorfman) and he needs to talk. So he goes to shrink Josh Parks (Ritter) and, in the waiting room, Alex meets neurotic Sarah (Campbell), with whom he contemplates an affair. Alex wants to make some changes but when you're a professional killer, it's not that easy.
