Hitman

About This Movie

So, 'Hitman' from 2018 is this intense little thriller that really carries a unique vibe. The lead, a hitman, brings a certain grit but also this odd vulnerability. You see him battling not just his target but his own body, full of quirks and hypochondria. It's like a slow burn that never lets you forget his frailty, creating this bizarre tension throughout. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, which is a departure from typical action flicks. And the practical effects? They add a realness that’s refreshing. It's all about the atmosphere, which feels heavy and introspective, rather than just blood and guts. You'll appreciate how it plays with themes of mortality and the choices we make in life.
