Interview with a Hitman

All i can say imagine this first time director with a big Hollywood budget then you will see the true beauty of this film. I felt at times that i could feel David finchers atmospheric cinematography riding through this film and with the menacing soundtrack i think this film deserves much more of a user review score for a first time director.

The story is a child grows into a hit-man finds love thats it but inbetween there is so much more and i thought the ending was pleasing.

This isn't a popcorn flick and though the fight scenes and action sequences are good it is a slow paced melodrama but the script is good which in my opinion makes the film worth watching

This film is really good. I was not expecting something like this. Reminds me of Heat and Drive a little bit - the way it looks and the acting is really really good.

Luke goss is very suited to play a hit-man, he plays it realistic in a way i was not expecting.

The little boy that plays him as a boy is very good as well. he even looks like a young Luke goss.

tThe french woman is beautiful - i would have liked to see more of her.

The story is good, different, not like other films and intelligent.

I saw that it is number 18 on moviemeter!!! That is amazing acheievment. It is sitting next to big Hollywood films. Shows that you cannot stop a really good film like this one.

Not sure what people's problem is with this film.

From the score you'd think it was terrible...

... but it certainly isn't.

It's moody, well-paced and plotted and well acted for the most part.

With some good twists...

I know Luke Goss isn't exactly Al Pacino but he's good in this part.

Well worth a watch - ignore the naysayers.

Is that ten lines yet? Good grief.

Way to force people to add superfluous text! All I wanted to say was "ignore the weirdly low score - it's a good movie".

This is by far the best British made thriller I have seen in a long time, the story is gritty, intense and compelling. Although the film was produced on a low budget, this for me enhanced the authenticity of the film and surpasses many other high budget thrillers in my opinion!

Luke Goss plays the lead character Viktor the Hit-man, Luke displays his raw talent throughout and his portrayal of an assassin is most compelling.

Perry Bhandal has done an fantastic job creating this film. I am truly amazed to hear that this was his first feature length film and I for one can't wait to see his next film!

Film noir? I Think so. It contains some of the classic ingredients. Narration, urban locations, a sultry lead male with chips on both shoulders (for no other reason than that his childhood was stolen from him?) and being in a place that he really doesn't want to be. A strong, mysterious female.

The camera work would not be to everyone's taste. Hand held a lot using available lighting? The result isn't always easy to watch. There are a lot of 'in-your-face' close-up shots, which Luke Goss lends himself too brilliantly. The film appears to be built around the editing, which really works and is very clever. The soundtrack was unobtrusive and enhanced the film. I like the fight scenes, no big demonstrations of pushing over large pieces of furniture, it didn't drag on for minutes just filling celluloid, no unrealistic sound effects. You don't need to know how Viktor became able to kill a man quickly with his bare hands.

Well cast in my opinion. Luke is pleasing on the eye for close up and his expressions showed all the emotion, or lack of it, the part required; no passion available - Perfect. I want to say he was very 'cool', but the character wasn't suppose to be cool, he was a boy on a mission and knew no other way to act, which just happened to come across as 'cool'. The supporting cast, mostly recognisable from any violent British film or grisly TV drama, played their parts admirably. Oh, and young Viktor? Elliot Greene, I hope shooting up people hasn't left him disturbed in any way. Or is he just being primed for the remake of Scum? I think without even realising it, or being told to, he played young Viktor with the same stealth and detachment that Luke played old Viktor.

I liked the twisting, or is that twisted? plot which made you wonder what was going on half way through then all made sense in the end, and what a conclusion. . .

Favourite shot – The expression on Viktor's face when he shoots the person under the table.

Best line: "Sorry to hear about your Mother". "Why? You didn't even know her" – a response all should be allowed to give when telling people they lost a parent when they were in their teens or younger and not be considered rude or insolent
