on Nov 24 2007 10:34 PM What about hitwomen? I'm thinking of The Bride from the Kill Bill movies. Or Josh Hartnett's character in Lucky Number Slevin, or Jason Bourne...yes, Jason Bourne should be considered among the best movie hitmen. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 25 2007 04:25 AM In reply to this comment (#1303668) Jason Bourne was more of a government trained soldier than a hit man/assassin. These other characters like Leon, Jules and Vince were more like independent hit men. People went to them to do a job with money on the table or they worked for a mob boss. As my own personal favorite, I guess any hit man/assassin played by Chow Yun Fat is awesome in my book. (Reply to this) |
