Subject: The Hit

Hello, everybody!
I as wondering why nobody mentioned in the replies to Helen's question about great John Hurt Movies the wonderful movie "The Hit". (Quotation from the IMDb:Ex-gangster Willie Parker has betrayed his former "colleagues" and now lives in Spain where he thinks he can hide from their vengeance. But one day, ten years later, two hitmen (Braddock and Myron) show up and kidnap Willie. They are ordered to escort him back to Paris where he should stand trial. But it is a long way to Paris...)
John Hurt plays the role of the sinister, older hitman Braddock, and somehow, although he is so bad an brutal, he manages to draw all the sympathies to him in the end... A very recommendable, brilliant movie, although it is pretty much underrated for my opinion. Maybe because fans of mere action will find it boring ;-)
I have seen this movie for the first time about 15 years ago, and immediatly I became a fan. I have watched this movie over and over now, bur there's still something new to discover, especially because we don't get to know very much about the characters...it gives You so much space for Your own interpretation. So in the end, maybe everybody ends up with his own personal view. It is definitely one of the movies where I would like to call the director on the telephone ( Stephen Frears in this case) and ask him personally some quetions about the film....
What do You think? I would simply love to read Your opinions!
Bye bye, Klotho.
