5/10

Acceptable, if ordinary, action film.

"Hit List" is a perfectly acceptable little actioner. Anyone who has seen a fair amount of action pics will agree that the quality of this movie is average, and not nearly as low as it often gets in this genre. An extremely untalented lead is a major disappointment here, but the good supporting roles (particularly a colorful Torn, who seems to slightly imitate De Niro's version of Al Capone from "The Untouchables") make up for that. The script is ordinary, and gets far-fetched at the end, but the slick production values keep the film watchable.

Trivia
For several days, William Lustig directed the film from his limo, complaining about cold weather.

Goofs
Mobster Luca taunts Agent Mitchum at the curb of the Gran Jury steps; in frustration Mitchum shoots Luca in the chest. The bullets slam Luca's body against the white limousine. The sliding actor's back slowly reveals a large rectangular dye pack trailing beside his left arm.

Quotes
Frank DeSalvo: [Seeing Caleek working in a shoe store helping a woman] There he is. Oh! Look at her. I'll betcha she ain't wearin' no panties. If that was me, I'd *bang* her right there. Front of everybody. I wouldn't give a shit.
Jack Collins: That's the guy that killed Brian? That's the guy that's got my son?
Frank DeSalvo: Hey, Collins... that guy is so twisted when he dies you'll have to screw him in the ground. He's killed so many people he owns his own cemetery.
Jack Collins: Let's take him!
