Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

david-sarkies It seems that there is little to differentiate this movie from the 1991 Aaron Norris version, but when I come to think of it, the real name is probably something like "King of Killers" or "Punishment Angel" or something like that. The thing is that the movie was released on Chinatown video with this name so this is that name that I am using.As I said before, this movie could be called "The King of Killers" namely because it is about an assassin called the King of Killers. He kills for free and only kills people who deserve it. As such he kills a high profile Japanese business man and upon his death a fund is activated to go to those who are the first to bring down the killer. Unfortunately, and this is the twist, somebody else was paid some money upon the businessman's death, and upon discovery, they think he killed him.The movie is basically an action packed adventure where at first it looks like a bumbling idiot and a naive mainlander are trying to hunt a professional killer, but it turns out that the idiot is trying to make sure that nobody thinks that he is the killer, which is true since he is a real idiot. What makes the movie cool is not the in-depth plot, or strong themes, but rather the cool action sequences. This movie has one of the best elevator shoot-outs that I have ever seen, and the final battle is one worth waiting for. What this movie is is a Hong-Kong action flick, and as one, it delivers.

kosmasp ... good, but also the main player here ... yeah OK you knew that. Not only because he's on the poster, or his name comes up first in the cast list. But I do guess that you've seen some (a few or many) of his other movies. And I say that because Hit-man isn't the first movie, someone will stumble upon, while he's/she's looking up Jet Li. Just because it's also not his best one ...Still this is entertaining and if you don't expect any story you'll get your moneys worth ... concerning the action scenes! Suspension of disbelief is also needed (like in most action movies though) and Li's charisma isn't felt like in some other movies ... In two words: Light & fun!

lloydthegreat I bought this movie on DVD for just £4.00 and im very impressed with it, what a bargain !Its funny (very funny in some parts), fast and the guy who plays Li's friend in this movie is a hilarious hapless character.This movie has some interesting, new aproaches to Hong Kong movies. Such as a bad guy who wears extremely powerful laser-lights to blind his enemy - sounds cheesy, but ill hear your opinion once you have seen it in action, its very effective.Jet Li's performance in this movie is by far his best, although 'Fist Of Legend' is still his best movie all-round. This movie is still well worth anybodies Fiver' (or five bucks :) .

hyperfart This movie is called Hitman, and Jet Li holds the main character, so you would expect that he is a well trained, bad ass hitman, who kills a lot of people. But no, he is a child-lover who collects coins, and is for some reason good at karate, or what art of combat it is he is using. That really doesn't matter much, because Jet Li is hardly ever fighting in the poor number of combat-scenes this picture holds. Don't watch this movie. Gone With the Wind has more entertainment-value.
