Wordiezett So much average

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Leofwine_draca THE HIT LIST is a typical B-movie thriller with solid performances from the leads and an undemanding plot. Cuba Gooding Jr. is cast against type as a weary hitman who tires of his life and goes off the deep end while Cole Hauser is the down-on-his-luck protagonist who makes a fateful mistake one night. The story opens like STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, with strangers meeting in a bar and agreeing to a deathly pact, but it soon turns into something more akin to COLLATERAL. The low budget works against it a bit, but there are some highlights here, particularly the climax which is heavily indebted to THE TERMINATOR's police station massacre.

kyndrazacherl I would have never thought I would see a movie like this. The whole dying hit man picking a random victim/protégée must have taken a lot of thought. I also was amazed that in the end of the story Allan finally kills Jonas. This doesn't seem like something a hit man would do, they usually are in movies as being cold and heartless. In this movie, the directors break the stigma of the ruthless hit man and show that in his dying moments, as insane as he becomes, he want to teach someone a lesson, and end up helping them. Jonas basically reunites Allan with his wife, takes care of his debts, and shows him to not let people step on him. I thought it was intriguing that in the bar scene, Jonas was drinking water instead of alcohol, like I assumed someone would do if they learned they were dying. Jonas seemed like he took his denial of death out by breaking his murderous lifestyle, and trying to make a "friend" in Allan, as morphed as his meaning to that term was. This movie spawned many relatable quotes, and overall was 8/10.

wbswetnam I like movies with Cuba Gooding, Jr, and I liked this one, too. The premise of the movie is that a down-on-his luck man enters a bar and begins drowning his sorrows in glasses of JD. He strikes up a conversation with a mysterious man at the bar (Cuba Gooding Jr) and after a few hours of telling his new friend about all of his woes, Gooding's character offers the man a unique solution: I'll kill five of your enemies for you. Thinking that it is a joke, he scribbles the names of five people on a napkin. Soon afterward the body count begins...I thought it was well-scripted and well-acted. Some scenes were over the top - how could Gooding's aim (with a gun) be so excellent and the cops' aims be so bad, over and over again? The ending was pretty obvious midway through the movie but it was a good thriller anyway.

jeniak A disgruntled man creates a hit list with a stranger during a drunken night out and must then race to try to save those he marked for extermination as the bodies begin to pile up and all fingers point to him.The plot is interesting, but not very realistic as the director tries to convince us that someone can offer to kill anyone for nothing without any shred of emotions or regrets, just for the sake of fun. I agreed with one of the reviewer that Gooding is simply unconvincing as a ruthless hit- man...Overall good acting, but very unrealistic movie. I'd say 6/10.
