Watch The Hitman For Free

That was an excellent one.

Load of rubbish!!

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

"The Hit-man" has Chuck Norris in the title role, a cold-blooded killer working for the mob in Washington state. He's really an undercover cop, of course, who has been presumed dead after being double-crossed by his vicious, foul-mouthed partner (Michael Parks).Mainly, what "The Hit-man" is about, however, is Norris beating people up, unless he can't get close enough, in which case he simply blows them away. There is lots of gun play with automatic weapons, plenty of explosions — ranging from cars to buildings.It moves along at a quick pace and although it's never too spectacular it's my kind of low key action with Chuck beating up bad guys or blowing them to pieces. At one point he even blows a dude's legs off with a shotgun which made me cheer, because I'm weird like that.Michael Parks is on villain duties and I have to admit I've always found him scary, even when he's playing a good guy. There is something really menacing about him in this movie and he's just plain mean.If there were more fighting scenes in this movie i would have given it a higher score but Overall, The Hit-man is one of Chuck Norris' finest hours with plenty of R rated violence; it's only let down is by an annoying side story about a bullied kid but you'll even enjoy that if you're not a heartless bastard like me...

This was an okay movie by Chuck Norris, probably the last sort of good film I saw him in. Like most Norris movies it has a certain appeal mainly thanks to Norris himself, but it also has flaws that prevent this film from being anything special. Add to that an annoying plot point involving a kid and you just have to take a point or two more points off a film that if it had worked on some story elements could have been one of Chuck's best films instead once again another middle of the road film. In it Chuck is not a hit-man, but rather a cop who is undercover working with the mob hoping to find who is behind a crime in his past. There are some good action scenes in this one and I love the gun Chuck Norris uses as it is a nifty double barrel shotgun with the barrels being one on top of the other rather than the typical side by side. Do not ask me why I love the double barreled shotgun that is sawed off. I like the one in the "Mad Max" series though that is the more typical one. This film though is a nice watch, just nothing to take seriously. It needs a bit of work on the story and they need to lose the kid and the stupid scene at the aquarium. Overall, I thought it was okay though.

Chuck Norris once again attempted to expand his range a little with this action/thriller showcasing Norris' ability with a gun as well as his trademark kicks and punches. He plays a cop gone undercover after barely surviving a double-cross from a partner gone dirty. Michael Parks, who is always an interesting actor to watch, plays the dirty partner. While undercover, Norris tries to ferret out what's going on amongst three different ethnic mobs. While the mob action makes little sense, it's a good excuse for lots of gun play, semi-torture, and Norris pushing guys around while trying to play up a domestic side of his character mentoring a young fatherless boy. Norris is better than usual in this film and is usually so when not taking himself or the film he's in too seriously. His acting range is quite limited, and previous efforts of his to expand have backfired due to tired, formulaic scripts that failed to differ from film to film. Even though the film is nothing spectacular, it does contain some good stunt work and great action scenes throughout. Parks is again a heavy, and it's unfortunate he's rarely given a chance to stretch his range. ** of 4 stars.

This is a damn good Chuck Norris movie. Of course that doesn't make it a movie you could recommend to just anyone as "good," but if you look at it as part of its own sub-genre--say the Chuck Norris/Jean Claude Van Damme/Stephen Segal sub-genre--then it is pretty damn good in comparison. And I had never heard of it before today! The story leaves much to be desired, but this is the kind of low-budget action movie they just don't make any more: slick and goofy, crass and sentimental, moral and ultraviolent, "funny bad" and just plain funny--all at the same time. But the standout feature is definitely the great Michael Parks. Just as he did in the similarly obscure Charles Bronson flick "Death Wish V: The Face of Death," and in his "From Dusk Until Dawn" cameo, Parks takes charge of every scene he's in and simply walks away with the movie. Why hasn't this brilliant actor been given leading roles? He has been so fascinating to watch in everything I've seen him, especially in his later years.
