Don't waste your time. Good concept, poor writing and senseless ending. This is a real stinker of a movie.

I always watch films about my profession and I am always amazed at how horribly wrong they get things. Being an Assassin for Hire is not nearly as glamorous or as bloody as this movie and others portray it to be. I suppose it could be if one wanted to make it that way but you would soon be caught by the Police and your career would be over.

You do your research on your target, you find the most opportune time to do the job without witnesses, then you do it and walk away. The idea is stealth and not getting caught. Being able to make a shot at a mile away is a necessity as well since you may not have the ability to simply walk up to your target.

This movie had poor writing and acting as well which is unusual as a few of the actors are usually quite good. It wasn't worth my time to watch it.

I have increased my rating of this show quite a bit. Yes, it is not the "Real" Magnum and everything is kind of jumbled up with it but this show is really starting to gel and it almost makes me snicker as much as the original did. Don't get me wrong, Tom Selleck IS Thomas Magnum, but this really is turning into a decent show. The Plots and Subplots are somewhat fresh while still holding onto many of the Magnum "themes" and if you pay attention, you will see how the writers and directors pay homage to many of the things in the original show either outright or thru Easter Eggs.

This show is worth your time to watch and if you hate the fact it is and uses the Name and other things related to Magnum, then disregard that and watch it for the sheer entertainment. You won't be disappointed unless you stop watching after the first couple of shows.
