IMHO REVIEW :
just watched this a few days ago - here's my review. it's an entertaining movie with a great setup! but then ends too quickly... and too conveniently...
the premise. a hitman is getting old in his years... and as he starts to notices that he doesn't have anyone in his life... he feels lonely. the salesman comes into his life - but i'll skip that so i don't give too much away.
the cool bit for me (the setup) was that this hitman, because he feels so lonely in his line of work starts to screw up... his basically burnt out... his starting to freak out and needs help... but where does he go, who can he ask for help, how can he solve this when he is so alone.... great setup! fantastic! (i think)... so how does he solve this?
well that's the disappointing bit - the movie solves these problems in 15 min (give or take) minutes... and at least to me it wasn't very convincing and i thought that they coulda done more with the premise. oh well - all in all, not a bad flick - i just wish they woulda done more with the overall premise.
