Review of Diary of a Hitman (1991) by Robert I — 17 Apr 2012

Forest Whitaker is Dekker, a Hitman who works for Koenig (Seymour Cassel). Dekker's got problems, his arms hurts, his eyes are crapping out on him and worst of all he's losing his nerve. He takes on one last job from a crooked businessman to kill his youn wife, the naive and sheltered Jain (Sherilyn Fenn) and Jains infant son.

When he gets there he finds that this job won't be as simple as he'd hoped... Great drama based on a stage play, the interacton between Whitaker (one of the most versitile actors out there) and Fenn (talented and oh so sexy) is great.

Cassel adds his talents as Dekkers Boss (bascally the same role Cassels usually plays), and Jim Belushi pops up as a cop who may be on to Dekker. Sharon Stone pops up too fortunatly her scenes are short (not one of my favorite actresses by a long shot).

Check it out, just don't expect a lot of action or a gangster movie.
