The story

What Is Hit Man About?

The premise of Hit Man without spoilers.

Bernie Casey stars as Tyrone, a relentless enforcer determined to please, while Pamela Grier plays a seductive adult‑film star in this first Americanized remake of Michael Caine’s iconic thriller Get Carter. The story sweeps from Watts to the West Side, through porn parlors, a high‑rise, motel dives, a crime kingpin’s lavish pleasure dome and even a wildlife preserve, as Tyrone claims territory, busts heads and leaves a trail of violence behind him.
