Review of The Hit

The Hit (1984)
6/10
So-so
30 November 2003
"The Hit" is about two gangsters (Hurt & Roth) who kidnap an informer (Stamp) in Spain and transport him by car back to France where they intend to settle a 10 year old score. In the process they kidnap a beautiful senorita (del Sol), kill some people, and generally do a sloppy job of getting from point-A to point-B while being methodically dogged by police. The film has little action and a lot of low level drama which seems to be trying for some psychodramatic substance which never really materializes. Though it sports a good cast and does have its moments, in the final analysis "The Hit" is wasn't much of a hit and distills to little more than more than couch potato fodder. (C+)
