Review of The Hit List (2011) by Joan I — 27 Jun 2011

Oh, gotta love DTV. These are concerning movies. Concerned that your sitting down in front of your tv and will be pleading for the previous 90 minutes of your life back.

This movie kept my interest. Tempted me a couple times to fast forward alittle but I stayed strong and stuck it out. I wont get tricky and put articulate clever comments like the pros want you to decipher. Acting.....my "list". The husband did a great job, the wife did a respectable job, Cuba was not too bad and I won't hold it against him that he did a DTV. The rest of the actors and actresses should be on a hit list.....or sh*t list. The extras, ecspecially the police extras should find other professions. I'm thinking they were the producer and directors relatives. I have a bone to pick with the edit guy. LEARN TO EDIT. Sequences were out of order. One second, the sargeant is yelling at the top of his lungs for all the gunfire to stop and stand down, the imediate next scene, you see the sargeant with his gun intensely drawn. This happens alot. And the sporadic stairwell shots where the swat team and detectives are racing up the stairs to the rescue....this police station must be 100 stories tall!

All in all, not recommended but its not a complete loss. I agree, the police station standoff at the end, ruined an acceptable DTV movie. Cuba is a good actor, I think he just needs a better agent....
