The movie is excellent as a functioning thriller that kept me reeled in like a fish on a hook until the end. I simply couldn't stop watching as one seemingly disconnected part of the plot seemed to automatically tie in with the next. Then I realized that I wanted to know more, and find out how the story would eventually end. The only thing I didn't like was that I wish that we would find out more about who the Sergey Crime family was and how why they betrayed Viktor as he was an invaluable asset to them. However for the most part the movie Interview with a Hit-man was a success. It describes a hit-man's life in an objective and clever way that does justice to all the characters and shows that a murderer will never change.

The movie Interview with a Hit-man does many things well in terms of crime fiction. First of all it combines the idea that a killer is not just an instrument of death but a person with some natural human feeling hidden deep beneath the layers of hatred and evil. Viktor the young paid killer in the story becomes cold and cruel as a result of his circumstances rather than by choice. This doesn't dismiss the fact that he is still a killer, but it does make the audience sort of sympathize with him more. This is especially true when he decides to start changing in the second half of his life.

It's funny but I saw the opening with Victor talking to a man with Chinese features. I discovered that there is nothing more interesting than a film in which another man interviews a hit-man and the shows it from the filmmaker's perspective. The fascinating thing is that later on it turns out that as cold as the man Viktor was in the beginning of the movie he makes up for it later. The way he does this is by becoming more warm and gentle. Since gentleness is not a part of his character, he becomes that way when he rescues a beautiful woman from her kidnappers. Only then does he let her melt his cold heart yet and he lets his evil desires to kill go away for a while in search of a happier life.

It is about damn time, an underdog low budget movie is straight up done good. The storyline, good, the acting (for the most part) good, no over the top ridiculousness, very believable. Everybody's gripes about how the rating is to low is exactly right. This is a very good movie and can easily make my top 50. Not a lot of Hollywood, which makes this movie even better. Two thumbs way up. The worst part of the movie, is they tend to talk a little low so I had to turn on the subtitles and you have to pay attention to the names and who is who, because it jumps around a little in time. Other than that, it is a solid movie and deserves to have it's rating brought up to at least a 7. I would probably put it at 7.25.
