Hitters (2002) Reviews
Good Script, Bad acting
I never felt really bad for the actors when something bad happened to them... the soundtrack sounds like a B-Movie with Dolf Lundgreen. Anyway This movie is spiked with a lot B-Actors who are actually better actors than the average but can't really match up their role. Not even one in there is close to be believed as a mafioso... *** Minor Spoiler*** Not even Vince who is portrayed as a hard mafioso boss (actually the son of the major boss).. he just looks like a normal thug and is not really able to frighten a 6 year old... Actually he looks (and acts) like a normal Italian family father who's into soccer ;). *** Minor Spoiler End*** Anyway the movie is OK for an evening to watch, although the story is predictable, (very) hardly believable and the Acting is not really good. So it gets 4 out of 10. Which is average, not more but not less. Watch this if you are done with all the sopranos, godfather, scarface and what not mafioso movies. But if you have the choice take this movie as the last one.
extremely bad
One of the worst movies i've ever seen. I really hopes for a good one, but the acting was bad, mostly overacting, the plot was predictable and boring, even the music was over-dramatic. Sorry i'm so negative, but I just wanna reccomend to you all: don't waste the time. watch the Sopranos or something instead.
BRILLIANT
Finally, a GANSTER FILM WITHOUT dENIRO THAT STILL WORKS! Costas Mandylor brilliantly played a man trapped in a situation he cant get out of. Joey P Had No problem with all of his anger and RObert Davi made my feet tingle with excitement. Please make another advrnture for Nick.
INTENSE DAVI
I recently had the pleasure of viewing "Hitters" at the Palm Beach Int'l Film Festival. This film is brought to life by the smoldering performance of Robert Davi as "Nick". From his early scenes of controlled rage to the final denouement when he takes revenge against his enemies, this is a true tour de force for this skillful and under utilized actor. Especially effective is the scene with his enemy, Vince, when Nick's "playful" slaps suddenly turn deadly. It is a pleasure to see Davi in a role that he can really sink his teeth into and show the depth of emotions that he is capable of. He is truly a screen "presence" and holds the audience's attention from beginning to end. I certainly hope that other producers will take note and find some more worthy roles for this very talented actor. The rest of the cast gives Davi excellent support and combine to make an exciting film experience. There is even some amusing "comic relief" provided by the talented Frank D'Amico. This is a an excellent film and a "must see" for all fans of the genre.
Bored to death
The most boring film I saw in recent years. Lots of talking, TV- like acting for displaying total uninteresting and cliché people. There simply is not a single sign of action in the first 20 minutes after the title credits. Is this a mafia film or not ? Where is the gang war the DVD cover talks about? Most annoying is the restaurant owner who keeps reciting Shakespeare one liners all the time. You will loose interest in this poor "main character" fastly. I am honest to say that I saw the rest (after the first 20 min of pure boredom) accelerated, in 4 time - 8 times DVD speed. It keeps being lame. I'm just glad that I didn't spend more time with this total failure film.
