SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

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.

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.

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.

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Full of clichés, non sense plot, implausible story. The acting is poor, not even Cuba Gooding, which is becoming a B film actor worth it, but the entire cast, starting with the main leading role, the detective leading the investigation, is boss (the police captain), they are all so weak in acting that you better save your time.Save your time and don't even bother to see the movie. This is the lowest rate I ever gave to a movie, not because is the worst but because the expectations you have when you see the marketing and the leading name are reasonable and you should be entitled to a decent amount of good entertainment. It's not!
