The Hitman is Norris's attempt to do something darker, something riskier than he usually does.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, nem o chuck norris, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

I'm obviously in the minority here but I regard this as one of Norris's best and definitely the best with his brother directing. An edgier movie than usual with Chuck playing a much darker kind of antihero. Ably assisted by a good supporting cast, I very much enjoyed my time with this. A good choice for a pizza and beer lads night action movie.

Stylish old school crime movie, where Chuck Norris tries to move away from the image of a karateman...

The Hitman (1991) ?? Norris goes undercover as a hit man to seek out his partner who double-crossed him in unbelievably jumbled (not to mention uninteresting) plotting. Bottom-of-the-barrel action fare, even for Chuck; don't look for this in AFI's Top 100.

A much more serious film for Chuck Norris. Some good action in this one.
