The Hit
Available on Tubi TV, Plex
"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 trailer • PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by film critic Graham Fuller"
