Unlikely to be embraced by Dominican Republic tourism agencies, "La Soga" is a violent thriller centering on a hit man with -- what else? -- a conscience. Or at least a motivation, as Luisito (screenwriter Manny Perez), whose nickname gives the film its title, is desperate to avenge the decades-ago murder of his butcher father by a ruthless drug dealer (Paul Calderon).
