Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

punishmentpark I never liked Chuck Norris movies in the (distant) past, I even tried to avoid them, if I remember correctly. But my taste has changed over the years, and this (and other) sort(s) of cheesiness makes me want to try and catch any film that has Chuck Norris in it. And to top things off, this one has some neat, bloody action in it as well.Chuck's mullet seems to have been updated a little to the '90s in this one, but Norris will always be Norris; a hard-ass with a heart of gold spewing one-liners that are as much silly as they are funny. The whole story didn't become clear to me until I was way into the movie, but it's not a problem. A bonus is to see Michael Parks play a nasty bad guy, although in the middle of the film he disappears for a while. I'm sure there were a few movies just before this one that inspired a lot of this, but it doesn't make it any less fun - just don't take it too seriously. The atmosphere and settings were quite nice; bleak and grim portraits of Seattle and Vancouver and some snowy woods, and nicely filmed.Of course, I can't give this a very high rating, but it was definitely a pleasant way to kill, kill, kill some time. Peace out, save the fish.

Maziun Originally envisioned as a vehicle for Charles Bronson this movie uses pretty much the same story you have seen in Kurosawa's "Yojimbo " , Sergio Leone's "Fistful of dollars" or Walter Hill's "Last man standing" - a guy wants two gangs to kill each other , so he tricks them in a war. The only original part of the screenplay is the pretty cute if not out of place subplot of Norris helping little kid to deal with bully. The story Chuck Norris' character tells about being harassed by a bully actually did happen to Norris while he was growing up.The cinematography is cool , the movie looks pretty atmospheric at night. Norris looks actually pretty badass with his beard , mullet and trench coat.Aaron Norris' somehow managed to competently direct for once. This is his best movie. It's not boring and it helped me to kill some time when I was bored. It's the stuff you can see late at night on cable-TV.If you like Norris you probably will like this movie . If you don't like him , it's unlikely that you will become a fan after this movie . I give it 2/10.

Michael_Elliott Hit-man, The (1991) ** (out of 4) Chuck Norris plays an cop who seeks vengeance for being double crossed by his former partner (Michael Parks) by going undercover in the mob and killing as many Mafia members as possible. He also strikes up a friendship with a young black boy but in the end it's all about revenge against Parks. I really didn't go into this movie expecting too much and I walked away from it getting very little outside of some rather funny moments. This is a poorly executed movie that makes very little sense but fans of "B" action movies might find enough entertainment here for a viewing. Being from Cannon you can expect the low budget to be made up for with cheap explosion and dumb action scenes, which is exactly what we get. I guess the producers didn't want Norris playing 100% bad so they wrote in the silly subplot dealing with the little black kid but this does lead to one of the funniest scenes in the film. The black boy is getting picked on by some racist kids so naturally Norris teaches him to fight. I don't find child abuse funny and any attempt to make it funny is just wrong in my opinion but after the black kid gets revenge, the redneck father takes it out on his son and the sight of this had tears running down my face. The entire sequence was so pathetic that I couldn't help but laugh and that includes what Norris does after the beating. As expected, the performances aren't anything overly special but Norris fits into his role nicely and manages to show off his smile quite a bit. In fact, the smile gets more showtime than some of his fighting skills. Parks makes for a fun villain but it's a shame the movie didn't us him more. The action scenes are all done on a small budget but this adds some campy charm as does the violent ending and the countless bad one-liners. In the end, I doubt too many will get any entertainment out of this thing but if you don't mind Cannon movies then you'll know what to expect.

ghostman16 Chuck Norris has made some good films (invasion USA)and some bad films (force of one)most of his films are good on action and The Hit-man is no exception.chuck plays cliff garret a cop who goes undercover as a hit-man for the mafia and takes on the Persian mob.whilst undercover cliff becomes friends with a young black kid who is getting bullied by a gang of kids so cliff takes him under his wing and teaches him self defence.what The Hit-man lacks in story it makes up in action. the only sidekick chuck has in this film is his unique sawn off shotgun and an incredible martial arts skill.Hit-man is quite a rare film so when i saw it was on telly i quickly recorded it on video and i am glad i did. chuck does an okay performance probably the best we can get from him and the actor and actress in the film are okay to. to end the review i will just say the Hit-man is not the best film ever but it is certainly fun to watch 7 out of 10.
