HIT MAN stars Bernie Casey as Tyrone Tackett, a man on a mission of vengeance after his brother is murdered. This puts Tyrone up against street thugs, as well as mob types, all of whom want to kill him. Though lackadaisical, the story is interesting enough, and Pam Grier is on hand as the wicked Gozelda. It's always a treat to see Ms. Grier, and yes, she does show quite a bit of herself here! In fact, she's the high point of the movie.
The rest is mostly a by-the-numbers urban action / crime drama. Mr. Casey seems sleepy for the first half, but he does come to life for the remainder, especially the finale.
All in all, it's worth a watch...
