What's so amazing about a professional Hitman that is trying to recover some drugs and money and killing everyone that is trying to get in his way??

Ah..most any story can be broken down into a simple concept. The art and talent IS in taking a simple story and making it interesting.

What's interesting about it?? The guys isn't even close to being caught by the law. This movie shows more ineptness towards the law than in any movie I can recall in recent memory. If a man who lives in a trailer park, finds 2 million dollars on a bunch of dead Mexicans, and gets chased until the deranged psychopathic hitman kills him interests you for 2 hours then more power to you. The plot was empty after half the movie and it didn't finish itself at all.

Just seems that is the movie style you prefer. You didn't like the cops never got close to catching this guy. You didn't like that the bad guy did not eat it at the end. Nothing was wrapped up and tucked away nice and neat.

If it bored you, that's fine, but it's not supposed to be a feel good action movie.

I would go as far to say that the absence of a catharsis probably turned a lot of people off to this movie.

I am certianly no "artsy" type but I absolutely love this kind of movie. Movies like the Ocean Eleven's of the world hold no interest for me.

What really turned me off to this movie is when the guy walked into a metro building with that gun and blew the guy away upstairs. After that, the whole thing just became a poor attempt at an intellectual film. If I was basing my opinion on the first half of the movie, then I would have given it a much higher rating. Like I said before, you can only go so far with the plot they had until it shows you just how empty if really was.

There is a thread called "Hitman" if you would like to discuss Hitman.

No that was me telling you to learn how to read and if you want to discuss Hitman there is a thread for that.

I'm sorry, I must not be educated enough to get the deeper meaning of what you are saying. I was discussing NCFOM, not Hitman. Maybe you should learn how to read my posts. :good!:

I hate to interject, but this is one of the most insanely stupid arguments I have ever seen on this board, and that comes from someone who has been a part of a couple.

I agree. Just to think, I started the Hitman thread, so I should know which movie I am posting about. :)

My apologies. I misinterpreted what you were talking about because I don't know what a "metro" building is.

Regardless I honestly don't mean to sound like I'm on a high horse or anything but I just can't imagine Hitman even being remotely in the same league. I have it downloaded so I may watch it later. If I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it.
