      Jonathan O My god given this man some food! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review David W 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Stylish old school crime movie, where Chuck Norris tries to move away from the image of a karateman... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A much more serious film for Chuck Norris. Some good action in this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not very impressed with the camera work. This is a 1991 movie that has the camera quality of a 1970 movie. Furhtermore, most of the action scenes consist of of shots of pistol barrels going off. It's very awkward to watch. The plot is forgettable as well. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
