Plot Summary

Killing Sarai (original Spanish title En Brazos de un Asesino) is a 2019 crime thriller directed by Matías Moltrasio, based on the novel of the same name by J.A. Redmerski. The film stars William Levy as Victor Faust, a lethal assassin raised to kill for money, and Alicia Sanz as Sarai, a woman imprisoned for nearly a decade by a powerful drug lord. When Victor arrives at the drug lord’s compound to collect payment for a recent hit, he encounters Sarai and her desperate bid for freedom. Their escape rapidly draws them into a vengeful pursuit as they evade the drug lord’s men across dangerous terrain. Along the way, Victor’s hardened instincts and Sarai’s fierce will to survive forge a tense and unpredictable bond, mixing action, peril, and reluctant partnership. Produced through William Levy Entertainment and distributed by Pantelion Films and Lionsgate, Killing Sarai blends crime thriller intensity with dark romantic undertones. The film was released in U.S. theaters on December 6, 2019, and later became available on digital and on-demand platforms.

Fun Facts

Surprisingly, the film is based on a popular novel that leans far more psychological than the movie, meaning several internal monologues and morally ambiguous moments had to be reimagined visually rather than spoken.
