#THE HIT LIST MOVIE 1993 PROFESSIONAL#

We need to talk about how stylish and huge CharlieвЂ™s apartment is so itвЂ™s good to see that professional killers can still earn a decent salary. ItвЂ™s obvious who the real bad guy is early on but itвЂ™s the characters that keep this an engaging 93 minutes.ДЇahey is well cast is the ice-cold hitman Charlie Pike with his steely blue eyes and ruthlessness with his prey but when he meets Jordan Henning the pair fall for each otherвЂ¦ but is Jordan everything she seems? It isnвЂ™t packed with action but it has a few shot-outs and there is some nice squib work. Yancy Butler has some nice chemistry with Fahey and I can see why she would have liked the role of Jordan as she is unpredictable. James Coburn had one of the most iconic voices in cinema and he can class any picture up even if his role in this isnвЂ™t all that exciting. There is something endlessly appealing about the hitman genre and this is one of the better efforts the performances are solid from all three leads and the story has enough twists to keep you engaged. The Hit List is a bit of a forgotten gem that stars Fahey, Hard TargetвЂ™s Yancy Butler and the legendary James Coburn. Review: I had never seen this before but if a movie has Jeff Fahey in the lead itвЂ™s a sure bet that IвЂ™m going to enjoy it as he remains one of my favourite underappreciated actors. Pike is captivated by this mysterious woman and is surprisingly drawn into a deadly double-cross as unexpected events raise the ante and reveal a conspiracy of dangerous dimensions.

Yet all rules are broken when his mentor Peter Mayhew (James Coburn), a prominent attorney who heads a secret committee to wipe-out organized crime figures, requests that Pike help a beautiful family friend, Jordan. Plot: Jeff Fahey stars as Charlie Pike, an elusive hitman who eliminates high powered criminals whom the law cannot touch. It doesnвЂ™t have too many action set-pieces but it has a few shoot-outs making it worth a watch. (Coburn is good in his handful of scenes too, but unfortunately he's not really given much to do beyond look concerned and issue some ominous warnings about Fahey getting too close) Again its not a terrible movie, but its just too slowly paced for its own good.The Hit List is elevated by the great cast and a story which has enough twists to keep you watching. (Hmmm an assassin with his own moral code.where have i seen that before?) That said, its not terrible, if you stumble across it as I did, its worth a look if only for Fahey's very solid performance. Instead we get a lot of Fahey grimacing over him violating his own code.

A movie like this, i'm not asking for it to be funny but a couple of wry tossed off one liners here or there would've been very effective. Fahey is good here actually.the story's ok enough, its got all the classic ingredients of a solid film noir-its got a potential femme fatale, its got a decent enough boss character played by a great veteran actor (in this case James Coburn), its got a hero who is talked into murdering a guy who's giving a woman a lot of trouble.I just 100% described 'Double Indemnity' which this movie is nowhere near the quality of.but for once its not the screenplay's fault so much as it is the pacing of the is sloooow moving from plot point to plot point.
