Hemlock: some lousy killer
This movie has its moments, no doubt about that.
BUT all the time they´re talking about Hemlock beeing the best killer of them all.
And then we see his first assassination and he sucks completely.
1. His delivery-guy-disguise:
That must have been a joke.
The whole costume is nothing but his normal clothes (jacket and a black turtle-neck = classic delivery-guy-uniform) and a cap that has the german word for "delivery" written on it.
And that cap doesn´t even fit. It´s way to small for Eastwoods head and his fancy 70ies hair-style.
His appearence must have made the bad guys alerted.
2. The plastic bag:
He brings his "disguise" and his gun in plastic bag (as most professionals do, don´t they?).
After he entered the house (through the old serendipitously open window), he took out his gun and put the bag in a shelf in the house that will become the crime-scene.
By the way, Hemlock must be allergic to gloves, because he´s not wearing any and he´s leaving his finger-prints all over the place and his plastic bag.
(maybe the plastic bag still contains the sales slip for the cap?)
3. The killing:
he opened the door, aimed at the bad guys and then ...... waited long enough to make sure both of them could see him.
His reaction when beeing attacked with a knife? hide under the table (common practice for all high-class hitmen)
Luckily, the bad guy falls out of a window at the end.
Yeah, Hemlock is a killer worth his weight in gold.
