More of a descent into hell than a redemptive mission, the killer's crusade is poignantly selfish and damning. find out more...

Since '36' Marchal has come out and stated - yes they did do drugs, yes they did hang out in the same bars as criminals and yes they did cut deals. Enuff said. find out more...
