There exists an early English picture starring Terence Stamp, John Hurt, and very young-looking Tim Roth in his debut
(at the behest of The Clash's Joe Strummer), and it's called The Hit.
Although it seems run-of-the-mill, I've enjoyed the performances. The pace is lively. Quietly, John Hurt is the true
leader of the ensemble. Parts of the movie remind me of
The Limey which starred Terence Stamp. Tim Roth is fun to
watch. Laura del Sol's beauty chews up the scenery, but there's no reason to keep her character alive that long.
All in all, The Hit should be picked up for Terence Stamp, John Hurt, and Tim Roth.
