Review of The Hit List (2011) by Ben L — 04 Aug 2011
Thriller starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as a Jonas Arbour, a CIA hit man gone rogue. Meet Allan Campbell, a man that owes money to a gangster, has lost his long awaited promotion and has just found out that his wife is having an affair. These two extremely different persons coincide in a bar, and Jonas convinces a very drunk Allan to make a list of people he would like to see killed. The next day the men in that list start to die.
This movie start with with good premise but it deflates almost inmediately, the script needs polishing, some the dialogues are terrible, the special effects are cheap and everything needs an uplift to make it believable. Apparently this is a film made for TV rather than cinema, that could explain a lot, actually; the unknown and not that good actors to start for, and a very rigid Cuba Gooding that spends all his time in the movie coughing and killing non stop.
