Charlie Valentine
 

Charlie Valentine He was a gangster, a gunfighter, a womanizer and a pretty fine chef. He was also the most dangerous, irresponsible scoundrel you ever met.

If you like hard-boiled crime thrillers (straight up - no chaser) with great characters and jaw-dropping action setpieces - we have just the movie for you. Brace yourselves for the award-winning Charlie Valentine.

Charlie Valentine is an aficionado of the finer things in life. He has a passion for fine wine, grand opera, and beautiful women. And he’s a gourmet cook, too! But his style and panache runs counter to his total lack of character. Charlie, played by Raymond J. Barry (TRAINING DAY) is a gangster and proud of it. The tools of his trade are sawed-off shotguns and straight razors. He has betrayed everyone who ever cared Charlie Valentineabout him. His only rule is to "go quick....and never look back."

Charlie is shameless and, when things in his life have gone bad, he runs to the son he abandoned as a child, played by Michael Weatherly (NCIS). Charlie Valentine is a story of sin and redemption, of father and son, of teaching and learning that, in the end, reveals unexpected qualities in a cast of unsavory characters.
