Harry M Aug 21, 2018 I enjoyed it enough to watch the dvd commentary as well. The occasionally inexplicable yet still strangely realistic behavior of all of the characters give this film a mystique that complements the Spanish countryside setting. We never know for sure what any of the characters are thinking, just as the characters never know what's around the next bend or over the next hill. I've heard that the film is partially based upon an Ambrose Bierce short story with a similar plot about a doomed man who appears to be at peace with death but ultimately reveals himself not to be. In the tradition of Bierce, The Hit is philosophical while at the same time willing to blow away any and all comforting notions at a moment's notice. See more

Poe S Dec 5, 2017 Horrible and complete waste of time.

Hagrid G Nov 8, 2017 Great performances from the 3 leads plus excellent chemistry between them. Entertaining.

Leia S Oct 5, 2017 What a great movie! I can see why this is one of Cristopher Nolan's favorite Criterion movies. So tense at times but so suave and stylish. This movie makes me love the characters as well as the actors even more. And the girl who played Maggie in the movie, has probably got to be one of the most beautiful and prettiest women I've ever seen. What eye candy! The film locations were really pretty to look at given that it was filmed in Spain and it's countryside. The acting was great. Tim Roth's character was a devilish little apprentice and John Hurt's was this suave, cool-headed mobster. It made for a great contrast. This is practically a road trip movie, only nobody's friends and people are always getting hurt. Anyways, the movie was really interesting. Something new for me in the whole mobster area of films. I'd recommend it. See more
