Dig this cast: John Hurt, Terence Stamp, Tim Roth (who’s, like, 18) and Fernando Rey. And a very buxom Spanish woman. Kind’ve like a British version of Collateral in Spain (during the day.) The Hit drives nicely and unexpectedly into existential territories, keeping the plot and the “action” very secondary to the slice-of-life feel. When you’ve got performers like this, it’s a safe bet.
