theguardian.com

A darkly comic blackmail thriller, "Executioner," features a fictional MP who hires a male prostitute. The film adapts Peter Benedict's play "Deadlock." The MP, played by Benedict, is offended by the description of his reputation as "colourful." The plot unfolds with escalating double-crosses within the confines of the MP's country estate. The low-budget film has a stagey feel and is noted for its portrayal of a sleazy politician, which some critics find dated given recent political developments.
