Eric-d-hendricks1 I'd like to have the two hours of my life back that was waisted watching this film. I kept watching hoping the plot would get better but kept getting worse. I was very surprised how badly written and directed this was. Did the director not watch how awful the acting was before editing was completed? The answer is NO! It takes real talent to make Daryl Hannah look so horrible and ran down. She never once looked like she was a professional assassin. Couldn't even hold a gun correctly and with a believable grip. Spoiler alert.. If a woman goes as far as shoving a wire hanger up inside herself to attempt an abortion and tears the inside of her lady parts up, i am fairly certain she'll end up going through with the actual procedure. Oh and after cutting herself she has sex the same night.. Doubtful. The whole film isn't believable. Just a thought. 3 good actors that are the main characters give great performances in other films and I'm clueless as to why I wanted to assassinate the entire cast myself due to how fake and annoying each character was. Every person associated with this film should feel embarrassed to have been a part of it. I feel its my duty as human being to advise people to not watch this movie. I am some what sorry to be so cruel but after watching this film i was compelled to express my opinions.

Xev I have been deceived. I haven't seen a ton of Daryl Hannah's work, but I've really liked what I have seen. My favorite movie that included her as an actor was Kill Bill. When I saw another movie featuring her as an assassin sitting on the shelf at Blockbuster, I rented it. I didn't think the summary on the back of the DVD case painted a good picture of the film. It had sounded interesting. But it was not. The story line started to get lost in Daryl Hannah's character, CJ, being a negative, often heavily intoxicated woman, going to bars and trying to get cheap sex, then cutting back to the young couple with the stolen drugs she's pursuing, with flashbacks of her life as a young child with a seemingly young unmarried hooker mother, and back to CJ dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, trying to abort the child, nausea and an ex-priest trying to help her.While watching this excuse for a movie, at the scene after CJ gives the pregnant female half of the drug couple, Emily, some requested toilet paper in a public bathroom and deciding not to shoot her, when she has the emotional breakdown and goes to give herself an abortion, the person I was watching this with was apparently fearful of how this scene would pan out, as I was asked to stop the movie.Now I normally love movies and will say everything positive of it I can think of, but other than Hannah doing a good job with a badly written character, I cannot find anything to compliment about this one. I don't mean to insult the creators or anyone involved in the movie, but, whether it was or not, it appeared slapped together. I only gave it a 1.5 as opposed to 1.0 because I didn't fully understand it, or finish it, and so didn't feel it fair of myself to give it that low a rating considering I didn't give it a full chance.

George Parker "The Job" is all about Hannah as a beautiful contract killer with a really bad attitude. This lame flick builds its story around her reluctance to make a final "hit" for reasons we're never really given to understand. We're led to believe she's killed often before but now, for whatever vague reason, she just doesn't want to "off" Renfro and his slutty girlfriend (Swain) to recover some drugs. And, if she doesn't fulfill her obligation and do the deed, her boss (Rocco), who looks too old to be able to pose a threat to anyone, will do something bad to her. And, if all that wasn't enough, she also has to contend with a young man (Mabius) who is falling in love with her in spite of her bad attitude, constant rejections, and a little problem with incipient motherhood. This far fetched bad idea conjures some decent performances and is adequately lensed and scored but can't escape its preposterous plot. It's asking us to care about a killer for no good reason and to believe she can't escape her over-the-hill boss even though she could simply point one of her many guns at him and pull the trigger instead of doing away with Renfro. Hey, what the hell, she could just kill them all but then we wouldn't have all the angst and misery we're supposed to be experiencing as we ponder this turkey. A slightly above average B flick, "The Job" is cinematic couch potato junk food currently on broadcast. (C+)

rockinghorse This is not, in my opinion, an action movie. It is not a thriller. One would think that a movie about a hit-person/assassin/whatever would have to be one or the other. This is a very grim drama. Darryl Hannah has been a professional killer for a while. Then she decides she'd really rather not kill this guy or his pregnant girlfriend. She'd also rather keep her own baby.I quit watching the movie when Darryl had been shot by the guy and he'd been shot by her and is dragging himself back to his girl while bleeding to death. I didn't see how this movie could have a satisfying ending.If I knew anything about people in this sort of life, I'd guess this was their version of reality tv.It seemed very realistic to me, though it probably wasn't. The acting was appropriate.
