Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Allan (Cole Hauser) is having a bad day. His boss gave his promotion to a younger co-worker who stole his ideas. Allan goes home to find his wife sleeping with his best friend. Allan also has a shiner from making a bad bet and not being able to pay up. While guzzling JD at a bar he meets up with Jonas (Cuba Goodling) a Jose Cuervo man. Jonas tells Allan he is a hit man and has recently killed a conservative TV talking head. He asks Allen to make a list of 5 people he would want to have killed, and as his friend, Jonas will do it. Allen plays along, thinking this is good therapy, i.e. to make a list, but not really kill them. When Allen returns from the men's room, Jonas is gone with the list. By the time he gets to work the next day, his boss is dead.After the second person is killed we find out Jonas is terminal and has decided to do some free lance killing. During the movie Cuba talks in broad philosophical terms, while Allan wants to stop the insanity of all the killing. The movie is embarrassingly predictable. I don't recall Goodling having such a lame role. Clearly his acting abilities were wasted as his part was designed for someone who could read lines without having to feel them. Unconvincing is perhaps the word that best describes the movie.

Allen (Campbell) doesn't believe that Jonas (Gooding, Jr) is a hit man. So Jonas tells Allen to write 5-names on a list of those he wishes dead. He does this and soon realizes he made a very big mistake. I don't understand why Cuba Gooding Jr goes for these dark, really dark stories, but it's been that way since he was in Jerry Maguire, A Few Good Men and Men of Honor. Now, some may ask why I seem to be attracted to these dark movies. Good point. I like Hit Man movies, but was not prepared for this one (who is?) and also, there is nothing else out there at this time. Also, the holidays put all my TV shows into re-runs and what's a person to do?But, Gooding is always excellent and yes, of Oscar caliber, but these dark movies won't get him to any Oscar nomination, in my opinion. It is what it is and we have to deal with it (if we watch).This turns into a thriller frenzy as Allen tries to stop Jonas from completing the list. Good action stunts and perhaps some CGI, but that was difficult to tell. The acting by all is very good, the story is certainly different, and you won't be bored. Rating 6/10.Violence: Yes. Sex: No, we see a make-out session that was supposed to lead to Sex, but
. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.

This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Full of clichés, non sense plot, implausible story. The acting is poor, not even Cuba Gooding, which is becoming a B film actor worth it, but the entire cast, starting with the main leading role, the detective leading the investigation, is boss (the police captain), they are all so weak in acting that you better save your time.Save your time and don't even bother to see the movie. This is the lowest rate I ever gave to a movie, not because is the worst but because the expectations you have when you see the marketing and the leading name are reasonable and you should be entitled to a decent amount of good entertainment. It's not!

If you happen to notice a lot of senseless killing in this movie then you haven't missed the point. Solid acting by Cuba and the rest of the cast. This is a premise i personally haven't seen before, and I thought well done. I and the people I was watching the movie with were glued to the screen. Cuba emanated a aura of danger and a love of killing that came across very well. There was a scene that was too reminiscent of terminator, and I was surprised they dared to go that route, but it was also quite gripping. I think this dark role is a good one for Cuba. He needed to do something shocking to remind us he's still around The female lead is hot. I would love to see more of her.
