Plot line:
The Messenger is an action film from Italy starring former NFL player turned movie star, Fred Williamson. Williamson is also credited as the director and originator of the story.
The football icon plays Jake Sebastian Turner, a Vietnam vet, Green Beret specialist, and musical prodigy who also happens to be the best cat-burglar in all of Europe. As he is being released from prison, he’s promptly reunited with his wife, Sabrina.
Sebastian soon finds out that his wife is not only addicted to drugs, but she is also in deep trouble with the local mob over eight kilos of missing cocaine. Though Sabrina’s cocaine addiction gives Jake some concern it does not stop him from living large in Italy. He struts through stately homes, mingling with the hoi polloi and sipping champagne.
Sabrina is violently gunned down outside of a party, and before Sebastian can even grieve, he’s been offered $500,000 by a rival mob boss to avenge his wife’s murder.
His quest leads him to Gielgud (Riccardo Parisio Perrotti), an enigmatic aristocrat who claims the same men supplied the drugs that killed his son. Once Gielgud provides a list of the Mafiosi responsible, Jake flies from Europe to Chicago, Hollywood and Las Vegas, staying one step ahead of FBI agent Parker (Christopher Connelly) as he eliminates the drug-pushers, one by one.
The title, "Messenger of Death" was used in 1988 for an American vigilante action thriller film starring Charles Bronson.
