Hit List (1989)

Henriksen makes Hit List low-budget hit

As with any film starring Jan-Michael Vincent (Airwolf), it's got action. But he's not the main provider in this low-budget gem. Lance Henriksen (Aliens) is the man to watch. He walks the wild side as a psychopath who sells ladies shoes. He rarely speaks and doesn't need to. His violent actions and extreme appearance make it unnecessary. He's a real treat to follow. Leo Rossi (Relentless) is his usual cocky self as a mafia lieutenant snagged for the grand jury. Extra class is Rip Torn (Cross Creek) as the mafia don. The film is full of familiar character actor faces and delivers a good time. Worth watching and owning. October 22, 2001

Never quite hits its stride

Wildly uneven, this film features a wooden Jan-Michael Vincent as a man whose son is snatched by mistake by a mob hitman (Lance Henriksen) of whom it is said: "This guy is so twisted that when he dies they're going to have to screw his coffin into the ground." Does this role sound juicy or what? Unfortunately before things can get really perverse, the hitman dies...and dies, and dies and... Find this in the "Rasputin" category at Blockbuster.
