You know from the time that Allan and Jonas meet that Jonas has five people to kill on his list and it's just a matter of time before he makes it to number one.
MOVIES THE HIT LIST 2011 MOVIE
I tend to complain when a movie is too complex for its own good. Some people complain that a story like this is too obvious following a too generic formula. I really enjoyed being able to know the plot early on. Probably one of my favourite DTV films of recent times. Allan freaks and tries to find number four on the list before anything happens to him. The next day Allan goes to work with a bad hangover and learns from colleagues that his boss was murdered the night before. and at number one on the list his wife Sydney (Ginny Weirick) for cheating on him. Playing along with the game, Allan fills the list with all the obvious candidates - his boss (for passing over the promotion), the new kid (for stealing the promotion), the loan shark (for the black eye), his best friend who slept with his wife. He then tells Allan that he is a contract killer.Īllan laughs it off but Jonas insists it's true, and asks Allan to write a list of five people he would like killed if it were possible in a scene that somewhat echoes Strangers on a Train or The Designated Victim. After a few too many straight Jack Daniels, Allan meets Jonas Arbor (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a sick man with a bad cough who doesn't sympathise with Allan's predicament but is instead brutally honest about how he arrived there. Realising his day is turning into an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Allan goes to a bar to get drunk. Going home depressed, Allan is hit with a double whammy when he discovers his wife sleeping with his best friend Mike (Drew Waters). Unfortunately he is passed over by the new kid Brian Felzner (Sean Cook) who has brown-nosed his way to the top. He's in deep with a loan shark who has already given him a black eye and he has one more day to pay his debt, which he can do when he gets his promotion at work. With The Hit List, the US only got a month head start on us.Īllan Campbell ( Cole Hauser) is having a real bad day. Dolph Lundgren's Direct Contact took 18 months longer than the US to come out domestically and at one point we were at least two Seagal movies behind the UK. Cuba Gooding Jr.'s 2009 movie Wrong Turn at Tahoe only came out in the second half of 2010 for us. Out here in Australia we don't always get DTV films on time. One day it was just sitting on store shelves and available online to buy.
