Hitman Redemption

Ron Perlman plays the role of contract killer and after being giving the job to kill the people who were behind the murder of a family attached to his crime family organization, he gets in front of the apartment door of the one of his hits, he then collapses from an old wound that has taking a toll on his body and crash lands on another apartment door (Famke) she opens he completely goes down on her floor and there the old formula of the contractor falling in love and wanting to get out the business begins. Has this been done before? Yes. Is this film bad? Not at all. Definitely watchable. And it's not just because I'm a big Perlman fan, but the story did make sense. At best, a weekend afternoon, I got time to kill film. Nothing more, but decent.

The review that said, "If the writing was better, it would have been a hit." That sums it up. Everything else about this was very good - sound, scenery, physical acting. It's all there, but it isn't

Aging Hitman Asher (Ron Perlman) usually works alone, but agrees to a team hit that goes wrong and this marks him for elimination. We never find out who the new group is, but Asher's handler Avi (Richard Dreyfuss) makes a deal with them and to terminate Asher. Now Asher has to protect his love interest Sophie (Framke Jansssen) because that new group is also targeting her. Oh, oh!

Well, he's not Jason Bourne, Agent 47,or John Wick, but he's good and new on the scene and I am sure we will see more Asher movies.

This was more than pretty good. Very enjoyable and we see that Asher has his finger on every pulse and can be trusted to perform. He did have a blackout early on when he was about to off someone in an apartment, but Sophie opened her door as he lay on the floor. And yes, he did come back to finish that muffed job. So now you know how he met Sophie and it is here he ends up breaking one of his rules to not get involved with anyone. (You love it when a hitman breaks his rules, right?) So true.

Notables: Jacqueline Bisset as Dora, Sophie's mother who has dementia; Peter Facinelli as Uzi, a hitman that Asher trained back in the day and is now taking jobs away from Asher; Marta Milans as Marina, who helps Asher with a hit from time to time; Blake Periman as Hannah, Uzi's wife; Ned Eisenberg as Abram, the dry cleaner who gives Asher the envelope for the next hit.

The acting all around is first rate and I am sure we will see more Asher movies unless a noise in the last scene that Asher heard laying in bed next to Sophie was not a deer in the woods. Hmmmmmm..... HA! (7/10)

Violence; Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: One F-bomb by Sophie. Rating: B

This Ron Perlman movie is about an aging hitman who found love with circumstances out of his control. I personally think that when a movie is engaging and make you sit to watch it till the end then it's a good movie. Ron Perlman and Famke Janssen have done justice to their respective role but Jacqueline Bisset has done really well with her part. I wonder why this movie has such low rating as it deserve more. It's a little slow but still engaging . I will say dont miss it

Story wise this movie has some potential with the hitman for the Jewish Maffia angle... but it's just poorly executed. I love Ron Perlman, but this was a very stiff performance, the rest of the cast was also 'mweh' at best... directing not strong, script not strong. Not saying it's a bad movie, it's okay for a boring sunday evening when you've got nothing else to see.
