kyndrazacherl I would have never thought I would see a movie like this. The whole dying hit man picking a random victim/protégée must have taken a lot of thought. I also was amazed that in the end of the story Allan finally kills Jonas. This doesn't seem like something a hit man would do, they usually are in movies as being cold and heartless. In this movie, the directors break the stigma of the ruthless hit man and show that in his dying moments, as insane as he becomes, he want to teach someone a lesson, and end up helping them. Jonas basically reunites Allan with his wife, takes care of his debts, and shows him to not let people step on him. I thought it was intriguing that in the bar scene, Jonas was drinking water instead of alcohol, like I assumed someone would do if they learned they were dying. Jonas seemed like he took his denial of death out by breaking his murderous lifestyle, and trying to make a "friend" in Allan, as morphed as his meaning to that term was. This movie spawned many relatable quotes, and overall was 8/10.

wbswetnam I like movies with Cuba Gooding, Jr, and I liked this one, too. The premise of the movie is that a down-on-his luck man enters a bar and begins drowning his sorrows in glasses of JD. He strikes up a conversation with a mysterious man at the bar (Cuba Gooding Jr) and after a few hours of telling his new friend about all of his woes, Gooding's character offers the man a unique solution: I'll kill five of your enemies for you. Thinking that it is a joke, he scribbles the names of five people on a napkin. Soon afterward the body count begins...I thought it was well-scripted and well-acted. Some scenes were over the top - how could Gooding's aim (with a gun) be so excellent and the cops' aims be so bad, over and over again? The ending was pretty obvious midway through the movie but it was a good thriller anyway.

Mr-Sparrow 1st of all , excuse me for my spelling..not so good.. 2nd of all.. i have only few words about this Movie... Cuba's acting was kinda Good, but other Actors were not so good ,,really bad acting..the name of the movie is cool, the story is cool, but acting was not cool at all i really did not enjoy watching the movie...somethings were missing in the movie. this movie needed Mystery. i give 5 of 10 for Cuba and 2 of 10 for other actors , 3 of 10 for Cameras 4 of 10 for Direction . when Cuba was chasing by police in streets... for a second, i thought only actors were in the city...and only 1 police car ??? oh my god ! the city was really empty of people ...and police station could not hit Cuba with one bullet ??? ,, that was not good .. really Weak Acting ...

irresponsiblekid Terrible, horrible, no-good very bad movie. From the unsuspenseful opening scene & overdone James Bond opening credits I knew this would suck, but i hate killing movies prematurely so i rallied. Cole Hauser has previously been THE MAN and he was tolerable = 1 star. Wife actress very doable, another star. LaPaglia was also good... I'm getting soft here. 3 stars it is. Cuba was a vacuum, deadpan delivery was so overplayed and cheese-ball lines so predictable. I had my remote in hand the ENTIRE MOVIE so i could go from volume 55 for the whispering and then drop to 25 for the overdone crap gunshots and BS suspense sound effects. Every cop shot smeared blood down a wall; Cuba follows 100 gallons of blood through 4 stories chasing the couple, BLEECCCH. Horrible movie - enough so to prompt me to write my first review. At least he dies in the end.PS WHO IS THE GUY DRINKING SCOTCH BEFORE ROLL CREDITS? Garbage.
