Good, but a better ending offered...

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2005)

This movie was very entertaining. Great characters, good storyline, decent dialog - especially at the beginning to set up the movie - but the ending disappointed. Why does the good, never-shot-a-gun-in-my-life, guy always beat the professional-killer bad guy? I doubt it! A more realistic ending would have been if "Vincent" defeats "Max", completes his mission, and then everything gets blamed on Max. It would also have led to a great sequel: Max, after a few years in jail (and learning a few new tricks), goes after Vincent after Vincent pulls off another series of hits. Come on Hollywood - give the audience a little bit of credit for SOME intelligence.
