Worst Hitman Ever?

Let me start off by saying that this was an enjoyable movie, and I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it. That said, what's up with the lousy hitman? I'm talking about Jack Devlin here of course. He's just extremely sloppy for someone in his line of work, makes mistake after mistake (like letting her have his gun, he's lucky she didn't shoot him in the head, I would've AT LEAST kneecapped him as soon as I found the pistol with silencer attached) and he finally gets pushed off of a balcony by a female computer-nerd. Just found all of this pretty funny. That guy was really terrible at his job, should've found a new line of work! I mean was it amateur night for icemen with the Praetorians, were all the good ones taken, what's the deal? =P

Not only Jack Devlin is sloppy, Angela Bennett takes out the fake FBI guy that
springs her from prison. He was a plot device, anyway.

Not forgetting accidentally team-killing his own partner while hunting Angela at the convention.

Yeah exactly, Its cos he was a man and followed his winky.
If it was a girl she would have shot him dead as soon as she got his clothes off.
They say the female of the species is deadlier than the male.
hahah - Look at Black mamba, fantastic hit girl. (Uma Therman in Kill Bill)

I admire him for his ability to seduce a beautiful woman.and that he is so tech savy. PLUS....and this is a really big plus...he killed a couple people...one..making the target kill himself...and the other making a nurse kill for him.

but on the downside he told gregg after killing dennis millers charcter, that one was free.....free?? what kind of hitman kills someone for free?

Worst Hitman Ever?

I don't think he was supposed to be a professional hitman. Just a psychopathic computer nerd who developed himself a gateway to some pretty juicy websites, and suddenly had to defend his golden goose.
