Review of The Job

The Job (I) (2003)
this is praise, sort of, with spoilers
12 April 2004
Warning: Spoilers
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.
