Cord stars in this lame adaptation of a lame Robbins novel as a mob contract assassin, or stiletto, who wants a new job. Living the life of a jet-setter, Cord originally does the hits as a favor to Wiseman, a Mafia boss who once saved his life, but soon becomes indispensable in the mob's
eyes. Lacking in suspense, STILETTO amounts to little more than a confusing soap opera-like tale of the underworld.
