I wanted to see both film's. I thought i'd have a bit of a dvd marathon on Friday night and watched them both.
I really like Timothy Olyphant, but 'Hitman' just bored me. There didn't seem to be a story, just the main character walking a lot, and the odd gun shot. I lost interest in it, and ended up reading a magazine during it. I wanted action, and this just didn't excite me.
'Devil' started off good, but then it got a bit...dull. It didn't help that we got the cliched 'alcoholic cop who lost his family' character (does every movie cop have to be an alcoholic?. It's starting to feel like it) and i felt the ending was too obvious and too neatly wrapped up. I wanted the detective to be the devil and not forgive his wife and child's killer. If that guy was so sorry, then he should have handed himself in.
I just felt let down by it, and thought it could have been so much better than it was.
