Viva_Chiba I strongly recommend you to watch the original version, avoid the U.S version under the name "Contract Killer", those bastards at Columbia/TriStar don't give you the option to watch the movie in it's original language, soundtrack and runtime.Anyway, this is my favorite Jet Li film, i already watched it more than thousand of times and it never bores me.The action is cool, it both provides great fights scenes and some good (and also bloody) gunplay.Jet Li kicks ass (as always), Simon Yam gives his usual good performance and Eric Tsang is a (unexpectedly) good (and funny) sidekick, i expected the typical lame humor that you find in HK action movies, but the humor was actually good enough to give a some chuckles, the story is also good, it has some twists.Even the soundtrack manages to make the film enjoyable, it also gives the movie that typical "late 90's" flavor.

kosmasp ... good, but also the main player here ... yeah OK you knew that. Not only because he's on the poster, or his name comes up first in the cast list. But I do guess that you've seen some (a few or many) of his other movies. And I say that because Hit-man isn't the first movie, someone will stumble upon, while he's/she's looking up Jet Li. Just because it's also not his best one ...Still this is entertaining and if you don't expect any story you'll get your moneys worth ... concerning the action scenes! Suspension of disbelief is also needed (like in most action movies though) and Li's charisma isn't felt like in some other movies ... In two words: Light & fun!

LtdTimeAuthor Fast action and lots of laughs too!In The Contract Killer, Jet Li supplies the charisma and quick kicks as a lowly trainee hitman going for the big score in tracking down the King of All Hitmen.Li's character is in tandem with a sly, but bumbling conman, played by the great Hong Kong character actor Eric Tsang (Men Suddenly in Black, Accidental Spy), who excels at menace and comic relief. Tsang gives one of his typical 3D performance a la Bob Hoskins or Sydney Greenstreet. A rare directorial effort from actor/stuntman Wei Tung, who also directed Magic Cop.

hyperfart This movie is called Hitman, and Jet Li holds the main character, so you would expect that he is a well trained, bad ass hitman, who kills a lot of people. But no, he is a child-lover who collects coins, and is for some reason good at karate, or what art of combat it is he is using. That really doesn't matter much, because Jet Li is hardly ever fighting in the poor number of combat-scenes this picture holds. Don't watch this movie. Gone With the Wind has more entertainment-value.
