The Hit

Terence Stamp is Willie, a gangster s henchman turned informer trying to live in peaceful hiding in a remote Spanish village. Sun-dappled bliss turns to nerve-racking suspense, however, when two hit men played by a soulless John Hurt and a youthful, loose-cannon Tim Roth come a-calling to bring Willie back for execution. This stylish early gem from Stephen Frears boasts terrific performances from a roster of England s best hard-boiled actors and ravishing photography of its desolate Spanish locations a splendid backdrop for a rather sordid story.SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES: New, restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by director of photography Mike Molloy Commentary featuring director Stephen Frears and actors John Hurt and Tim Roth Parkinson One-to-One: Terence Stamp, a 1988 television interview with the actor Original theatrical trailerPLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by film critic Graham Fuller
