Description: For sale is the DVD edition of the Stephen Frears directed 1984 British crime film The Hit, starring Terence Stamp, John Hurt, and Tim Roth. It is #469 in the Criterion Collection and is a stated first printing of the 2009 DVD edition.DescriptionTerence Stamp is Willie, a gangster’s henchman turned “supergrass” (informer) trying to hide out peacefully in a remote Spanish village. Sun-dappled bliss turns to nerve-racking suspense, however, when two hit men—one soulless (John Hurt) and one a loose cannon (a youthful Tim Roth)—come calling to bring Willie back for execution. This stylish early gem from Stephen Frears boasts terrific hard-boiled performances from a roster of England’s best actors, music by Eric Clapton and virtuoso flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía, and ravishing photography of its desolate Spanish locations—a splendid backdrop for a rather sordid story.
