Hitman Redemption (Asher): Asher (Ron Perlman) is a hitman, good at his job but getting old, some of the more lucrative jobs are being assigned elsewhere by his booking agent. His health isn't the best either, he passes out in a corridor when he's after a target. Through this serendipity he meets Sophie (Famke Janssen) and a romance results. Sophie also has her travails, she cares for her dementia stricken mother. Nothing runs smoothly as the assassin profession becomes ridden with infighting. (Jacqueline Bisset). Good thriller, reminiscent of 1970s hitman/paranoia films. Nice touches by Perlman as he carries an umbrella to keep himself dry when he sets off fire alarm sprinklers to bring his victims to their apartment doors. A poignant love story as well, with quite a few violent scenes though. 8/10. On Netflix.
