this film holds 7. 0 rating on imdb and so even i sensed something rotten in it synopsis i decided to try it out. what a waste of 100 minutes. first of all and the 80 were not a good decade for crime and thriller genre. most of these and in those days were badly done with silly plot (if they had any) and so there are very few that can stand out and and even if they were good they are still not very good. the hit and however suffers from everything that made silly crime pictures silly. it has poor character development and improbable plot and wasn not written or directed in a decent manner and and when you have such shortcomings the acting doesn not help. stephen frears often tried to emulate french new wave in english style film making and the two do not match. first of all terence stamp is 10 years in hiding because he testified against some of his former partners in crime. he hides in spain and of all places. he is finally caught up with and and than first kidnapped by a group of silly looking spanish thugs and just do be driven away some distance to the two hit man that are supposed to deal with him. these two are john hurt and who is supposed to be hard boiled and stone cold killer and and tim roth (in his first role) as the devil apprentice. they do not kill stamp right away and they first dispose of the three amigos and they shouldn not have hired in the first place and and then and they are driving stamp to paris and because one of the buddies he testified against wants to confront him. ok that possible. but even with stamp being such a dangerous figure that they had to hire four guys to overpower him and they do not tie him down and do not incapacitate him in any way and and drive around with him and like he one of the buddies. stamp doesn not object and is happily going to paris to be shot and not using any of a half a dozen chances and these professionals offer for him to escape. than it appears that tim roth is just a school boy bully and making the idea of big crime boss teaming him up with a hard core hit man like john hurt and even more improbable and especially on an important job like that. but than john hurt is not so hard core himself and he spends twenty minutes of the movie and killing or not killing the totally surplus australian and played by bill hunter and whose only purpose in this film is to introduce the lovely laura del sol and his mistress (who he says is 15 and but she looks more like 25) and and whose role in the story and acting capabilities suggest that she was offered the role and solely on the basis of being the director or producer mistress at the time. after much deliberation and hurt kills the australian but takes along his mistress for no apparent reason. than he wants to kill her but roth with his subtle ways convince him not to and so even she kicks him and bites him and scratches him through the entire movie and he stays true to that deeply buried human side of him. than you have plain idiotic scenes and like when hurt and roth lock the car from the outside and trying to prevent the people inside from getting out. anyway the movie drags on. tim roth falls asleep and guarding terence stamp with his gun on his chest and and stamp just waits there watching the waterfall. than the whole shamble of a plot comes to the point where everything we have seen in the last hour and 20 minutes just goes out through the window. let recapitulate and the whole point in not killing stamp right away (except for having a movie) is to take him to paris and so his former partner is to have a last word with him. and the whole point in him not running away is that he is prepared to die and saying it just a moment. were here. then were not here. were somewhere else. maybe. and it as natural as breathing. why should we be scared. but my friends and here is where the plot twists and hurt kills the man while still in spain and and we ask why bother and drive around for days and he could have done it in the first 15 minutes and and than contrary to his philosophy stamp is very afraid of being killed and so we ask again why do not he run and and he had plenty chance. roth gets killed too and but he shouldn not be in the movie at all and and del sol and well she promised a role in this film purely for romantic (read sexual) reasons and so she stays alive again and even she attacked hurt for the 15th time in the movie. he killed all the others and but not her and she must have maximum screen appearance. the movie was made on a shoe string budget and it shows and but when you have no story and card board characterizations and it shows even more. and yes fernando ray appears and goes through the movie as the guest star and having a single audible line of dialog. awful.
