Preview: The Penalty Is Death 2

Zoe is in top form in this strangling scene, featuring some exposure and post mortem body handling. I think she does a great job as a treacherous spy who pays the ultimate price for her betrayal. Two spies have stolen a top secret prototype and arrive at the safe house to wait for extraction. While they wait, things get spicy between the two agents. The woman leans over and picks up a gun and aims it at her male counterpart.

She has the drop on him and is cocky and arrogant, dodging his questions about who she plans to sell the file to. She pulls the trigger only to realise he removed the magazine earlier. He tells her the agency has been onto her for a while and grabs her neck with his bare hands and starts to choke her. He pushes her down and pauses choking her. She tries to convince him to let her go, and tries to seduce him – unbuttoning her blouse to reveal her breasts.

He coldly tells her that the penalty for treason is death, before wrapping his hands around her throat and squeezing hard. He pushes down on her neck and chokes and strangles her, her eyes bulge and roll back, her tongue lolls from her mouth as she struggles in vain. Death comes quickly for the treacherous spy.
