Dekker's Dilemma. Roy London directed Diary of a Hit-man, which Kenneth Pressman adapted into a screenplay from his play, Insider's Price. The film features Forest Whitaker, John Bedford-Lloyd, Sherilyn Fenn, Seymour Cassel, James Belushi, and Sharon Stone. Michel Colombier composed the music, and Yuri Sokol handled the cinematography. The story centers on hit-man Dekker, who is hired to kill a client’s wife and child, but begins to seriously doubt the morality of his assignment... "you're your own worst witness" Everything needed for a quality neo-noir film seems present here; at times it appears poised to make an impact, though ultimately it feels disappointing. The movie’s origins as a stage play are quite apparent, and the combination of oddball and dry humor with the story’s more serious elements doesn't quite mesh well. The cast also comes across as somewhat uncomfortable, likely trying hard to perform under the direction of their acting coach director. However, there are enjoyable aspects for those who appreciate noir films. Dekker narrates the action, and he interacts with a collection of memorable characters—a mime artist, his psychiatrist, a child in a tumble dryer, an intrusive sister, and a shifty villain who gives him work. The settings also fit the genre: a local bar with neon lights, a church where “business” is handled, Jain’s (Fenn) apartment, which is a strange mix of chaotic living and traditional housekeeping, or a glimpse into a peep show. There's also an extended sequence using double vision effects that creates a peculiar atmosphere, while the scenes set entirely in the apartment—featuring only Dekker and Jain—are quite compelling. The ending, though, feels so disconnected from noir conventions that it might even provoke some viewers to want to destroy their television... It’s slightly above average as neo-noir, but I wouldn't suggest seeing it with any real enthusiasm. 6/10
