Getting Hit On

About This Movie

Getting Hit On is a curious blend of dark humor and tension, centering around Dirk, a rookie hitman who’s navigating his first job. The setup is intriguing: he’s using Grindr to target his victim, Kenny, a pharmaceutical executive linked to a string of deaths. The film has a certain offbeat charm, with a tone that fluctuates between suspense and absurdity, creating this odd, almost playful atmosphere. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing the awkward interactions and moral dilemmas to unfold naturally. Performances are a mixed bag, with Dirk's naivety and Kenny's composed menace creating a unique dynamic. It’s distinctive in how it tackles themes of morality and the absurdity of the hitman trope, offering a fresh perspective on a well-worn genre.

Getting Hit On has had a limited release, making its physical media somewhat scarce. Collectors seem to appreciate its unconventional approach to the hitman genre, particularly its blend of humor and moral questions. There's been some chatter on collector forums about possible future editions, but for now, it's one of those niche titles that may garner interest as more enthusiasts discover its peculiar charm.
