A Totally Depressing Finis
Added 8/28/2009
I think the script did not need to have CJ die. A fine man had come to love her, he wound could have been superficial instead of killing her and the baby. Whether or nor the totally greedy mother who left her infant behind got away with the drug hall is another matter. If she had been stopped and the drugs available to turn in to the police, all could have been well. O.K. rewriting the story seems like great hubris, but the given ending was so utterly tragic and such a total downer, something needed to be done.

What where they thinking?

So while watching this movie there were a lot of frustrating, boring, corny scenes. This is by far the most wimpy Hit man Movie I know. She is always crying and messing up so it was very annoying and boring. What a blah! I felt like giving the movie away because is an insult to my collection.

Good Straight to Video movie
Added 2/28/2006
I recommend this simply because all movies cant be filled with over-hyped 'A' list actors who do over-rated films.
This film suits the B- list movie crowd ( which is way bigger than the 'A' list crowd.
My rating B- and recommended.
The acting by Darryl is fine although she and her young failed priest co-star have no chemistry on screen at all...
The two young actors suck.
The plot has been done before but it's still very watchable

AND HOW WAS YOUR DAY TODAY?
Added 4/23/2005
THE JOB is a puzzling movie. As a character study, it succeeds mainly due to Daryl Hannah's draining performance, and Eric Mabius' interesting portrait of an ex-priest whose carnal desires still yield to his former profession. Hannah plays a hitwoman who discovers she's pregnant, and lo and behold, her latest "job" is a young couple, the wife also pregnant. Hannah's dilemma is explained with rather tragic flashbacks from her childhood, and she has the boss from hell played with venomous ferocity by the late Alex Rocco. Brad Renfro and Dominique Swain play the young couple who turn to selling drugs to purchase an ideal life. As the movie progresses, though, we begin to wonder who is worse? Hannah the hitwoman or Swain the self-centered, vicious wife?
Some of the action sequences are not very realistic; how can non-professionals like Renfro and Swain be such good shots with guns, topping a professional? The ending is also a disappointment as it plainly doesn't make much sense.
Still, THE JOB deserves credit for its unique approach to an unusual situation.
