The Hit

Lotsa fun seeing Terence Stamp, aka General Zod, here portraying a character as two different types: first he's Willie the meek mob squealer, then he's Willie the John Donne-quoting philosopher who, when handed the chance to escape his fate, would rather contemplate a waterfall.

It figures that his mind games could work on a novice like Tim Roth, but an old-pro enforcer like John Hurt? Uh-uh.

“We’re here, then we’re not here. We’re somewhere else. Maybe. And it’s as natural as breathing. Why should we be scared?”

Oh, you were scared, Willie. Plenty scared. We should have known from the first time we saw you.
