: Hitman

Kinda cool film about the “ultimate” hitman, a guy with no name (only a number) raised from birth to be a killer. When a hit turns out to be a fraud with himself as the target, the hitman must figure out who is trying to kill him, all while evading the cops and other hitmen. The film’s fun and the action’s good, but it’s pretentious, with dark moody atmosphere and suggestive dialogue and photography as though we’re supposed to think all this nonsense is important. It’s quite silly, really, and I prefer my action flicks a little lighter and more aware of their silliness (like the excellent Die Hard series). But still, it’s fun and entertaining and not the worse way to waste 90 minutes.
