About New Rules
New Rules is a dark comedy about two hitmen on their way to a job, discussing a troubling development: their boss has instituted some new rules.
Set largely inside a car as the pair make their way toward their mark, the film finds its humor in the collision between ordinary workplace frustration and a decidedly less ordinary profession. What begins as a conversation about changing expectations gradually reveals just how complicated following the rules can become when your line of work has never had many.
Written and directed by W. Boyd Ford, New Rules stars Billy Slaughter, Oscar Gale, and William E. Harris.
