THE LAST HIT MAN (2008)

After veteran assassin Harry Tremayne (Joe Mantegna) bungles a hit, life deals him another blow when he learns that he has inoperable brain cancer. Though he manages to temporarily conceal his illness from his getaway driver – who happens to be his daughter – they (and we) are in for some surprises when a young contract killer is sent in to mop up Harry’s mess. Not your ordinary hit man movie, THE LAST HIT MAN is a low-key drama about the interactions of people, with a great script, top-caliber acting and entertaining touches of black comedy.
