      A film you won't forget. No matter how you try.
      My wife and I were discussing which was the worst film we had ever seen since being together. We both said 'Hit Man' So we came to IMDb to see what date it was and what rating it got. We were stunned! 7 /10?? We remember this as a boring film, and several times during the showing we thought it was ending and we were getting ready to leave, but no, it continued. We can't believe that it was only on for 101mins. It seemed like days. Since seeing IMDb giving it 7/10 we thought about finding it and watching it again. The thought lasted under a second by which time we decided we would prefer to watch the paint dry on our newly decorated door. This film may improve with age, but I doubt it. Not many films do.
