INTERVIEW WITH A Hit-man.
I really liked it. Now I didn't rate Luke Goss much as an actor, but to be honest that was unfair of me. I only felt that way because I know him mostly from the boyband Bros, who I hated when I was a kid. But I have to say he is actually not a bad actor. He does a great job here as a cold hearted killer.
Luke is a hit-man who is giving an interview to a journalist. He sits down and tells his life story from when he was a kid up until present day.
There are some great twists in this movie which I didn't see coming. And there are some really shocking hits that he makes.
The story doesn't get boring and it flows along keeping you hooked on the film. You watch the film and start to by hating him as a kid, but by the end of the movie I felt sorry for him. He has had a messed up life.
This is not the best hit-man film I have ever seen, but it is still good.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
Good film, but I have seen better hit-man films (Leon)

Good film.
Unexpected, beautiful in parts
A friend recommend this to me after reading Emma Parlons review on her Life of Yablon blog. Settled down with my boyfriend last night (no arguments over which films to watch as he was quite keen to see it as well) What can I say. Totally unexpected. I can see why Emma rated this film so highly. It isn't very often that you see a woman win the day the way Bethesda does. The film is violent, lots of killing as you would expect in a hit-man film, but its all there for a reason. Viktor has to do it to survive. I think that's why even after everything he does you still feel so sorry for him at the end. And what an ending
totally unexpected! My boyfriend thought she was wrong. I can see it both ways but not sure if I could have done the same, especially as Luke Goss is HOT! The only downside is I wanted to see more of their relationship. It felt like it was just passed over. There are some really beautiful moments, when Viktor puts his hand on Bethesdas stomach. And when he put his gun to Bethesda's head, OMG! – Luke goss is amazing in this film.
Well done to the writer/director. The way he handled the small moments. Difficult to believe this is his first film.
starsMY NAME IS VIKTOR
Viktor (Luke Goss) is a Romanian hitman. At one point he is called "stone cold" in the film. The film starts out with a group of disconnected scenes as it represents various aspects of Viktor's memory prior to his interview. The interview allows Viktor to do some minor narration in telling his life's tale going from a child hitman looking like a greaser, to an adult hitman with a constant 3 days worth of growth on his face.
Viktor grew up in the part of Romanian where everyone speaks English with an accent. He gets involved with the bad guys, goes on the lam to London etc.
The film does have a twist at the end, one that is poorly developed. The characters are written rather badly as is the dialogue. The genius of our hitman is a plot point, but it is not brought out too well, as to make the film interesting. The film consists of a bunch of cardboard cutouts shooting each other. Rather boring for a crime/thriller. Better classified as a crime drama. If you are going to miss a film. This is it.
