“Black Ghost” (** out of four) was a muddled melodrama about an ex-commando (Sean Schliwa) living in Australia who carries out contracts as a murderer-for-hire for anyone who hires him but suddenly makes a prayer for the dying and decides to stop killing. He is soon coaxed out of this retirement by the daughter of a prominent murdered couple but soon begins to question whether he should fulfill this contract or remain in his shell. Tense and gripping at first but story loses focus and grip as it goes along, and becomes more-of-the-same underworld action melodrama after a while. Not bad but not exactly memorable either.
