| User ReviewFrances HTHIS IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE B MOVIES. THE ACTING AND DIRECTION ARE SUPERB! |
| User ReviewRobert IForest Whitaker is Dekker, a Hitman who works for Koenig (Seymour Cassel). Dekker's got problems, his arms hurts, his eyes are crapping out on him and worst of all he's losing his nerve. He takes on one last job from a crooked businessman to kill his youn wife, the naive and sheltered Jain (Sherilyn Fenn) and Jains infant son. When he gets there he finds that this job won't be as simple as he'd hoped... Great drama based on a stage play, the interacton between Whitaker (one of the most versitile actors out there) and Fenn (talented and oh so sexy) is great. Cassel adds his talents as Dekkers Boss (bascally the same role Cassels usually plays), and Jim Belushi pops up as a cop who may be on to Dekker. Sharon Stone pops up too fortunatly her scenes are short (not one of my favorite actresses by a long shot). Check it out, just don't expect a lot of action or a gangster movie. |
| User ReviewAllan CA terribly formulaic and cliched thriller, Diary of a Hitman is a poorly made piece of tripe. When a hitman is contracted to kill a young mother and her infant child he has a crisis of conscience. There's nothing original in the plot, and it's completely predictable. The cast isn't that bad, and includes Forest Whitaker, Sherilyn Fenn, Sharon Stone, and James Belushi, but there's not a good performance among them. Diary of a Hitman is a tiresome and derivative film that's void of any tension or suspense. |
| User ReviewJon AI gave it extra star jus because forest was in it, and so entertaining, but the main actress wasnt that convincing as a lady about to die...they might as well gave Sharon stone(played her sister) the part . If your looking for a somewhat decent movie than this would b a good pick |
| User ReviewBoris vFairly poor showing for both of the leads. But it could be an interesting "what if orgin" of GhostDog...one of Whitaker's more recent roles. I LOVE Sheryl Fenn, but the story is very un-even and she works best with good structure and direction. Didn't seem to jell here. |
