Interview with a Hit-man is a low budget British thriller with more than a nod to the Hit-man video game and subsequent film as well as THE BOURNE SUPREMACY. It stars straight-to-DVD star Luke Goss playing a former Romanian child who grew up to become a star hit-man and who arrives in UK ready to carry out his latest assignment. Things become complicated when he falls for his target.I'm not sure why there are a wealth of positive reviews on this site because this is a very ordinary and uninteresting story. It's so low budget that there's hardly any action and those action bits that do occur are unconvincing. The story is full of dialogue which is softly-spoken and attempts to build character but it comes across as dull and just as uninteresting as the forays into action. Everything seems long-winded and unfocused and a reliably charming Goss can do nothing to carry the picture. It seems they gave up on this one before they even started.

My favorite phrase in the whole film is 'My name is Viktor.' The charisma with which the actor playing Victor says these lines absolutely amazes me. It's almost like listening to the Casanova of murder. The film Interview with a Hit-man opens up with a series of disconnected scenes that later come together like the pieces of a puzzle, and then the story plays out. The only thing I didn't like the film was that I felt it was a bit too violent and so realistic. However the violence was toned down, and some of it even justified in the end.

Typical tough guy too cool for everything hit man character without emotion except when he sees a woman getting beaten like his mother then he supposedly jumps into righteous hero mode. Predictable and formulated with incessant droning music that makes you want to take a bullet yourself just to end the monotony. And enough with the shaky camera, it literally does not stop quivering for a split second during the whole movie. Even reigning hand held twitchy kings like the Bourne flicks take a break from that once in a while during the story. The twist at the end is not even enough to rescue this flick from an hour and a half exercise in dreariness.

Loved the pacing and attention to detail. Very nice flow to the conclusion with a focus on acting, story, and simple action. As above I am unsure why such a low review. Maybe the common action viewer requires explosions and CG to pull them into a movie. A simple methodical intent really allows the story to be told without distractions. Simply one of the best movies I've seen in a while.Flaws include low volume at one scene, though probably intended as it really lends a feel of a shared moment, and a requirement to pay attention or you can get lost. I see this latter flaw is a benefit, but assuming the average viewer prefers explosions and fast pace, I included this here.
