Featured review
Director William Lustig's HIT LIST opens with the most audacious, astonishing funeral scene ever filmed! The scene then switches to suburbia, where Jan-Michael Vincent stars as unassuming family man Jack Collins. After a mix-up causes a ruthless mob hitman (Lance Henriksen) to mistakenly arrive at Jack's house, tragedy ensues.
This all has to do with a certain mob boss (Rip Torn), who was trying to take care of a pair of informants. Now, Collins must rescue his son from the hitman's clutches, and avenge the loss he's suffered.
HIT LIST is a simple, but satisfying crime / revenge thriller from Mr. Lustig. While Vincent is adequate in his role, it's Henriksen's maniacal character who steals the show! The final showdown is one for the books!...
