Coolest assassins in film

[Al Bundy]

Mr Shush (Things to do in Denver when you’re dead).
Especially when he shoots Easy Wind in the arse so he dies a slow death.

Villanelle. Not ‘Film’ but nominated because Jodie Comer is utterly brilliant in everything she does.

Reading the early Sharpe novels set in India, Obadiah Hakeswill features quite prominently
Might be an arguement the Sharpe series weren't films but Obadiah was a class villian

Murdered Sharpe's missus and Col. McCandless for starters
Absolutely superb character

Spoilers. Does that qualify as an assassin does it?

I like custard creams but I’d not post about them on a thread titled ‘coolest assassins in films’.

I'll go with Alain Delon in Le Samourai. He's very cool, even if it's a canny slow and arty fillum.

That's a ludicrous film, but Mr Shush is mint, and I like the "I am Godzilla, you are Japan" line when the loopy Vietnam vet he is assigned to kill ambushes him.

Jules, followed by John. End of thread.

If we're allowed TV, then Snoop and Chris off of The Wire take some beating. "How my hair look, Mike?"

 

[Shusssh]

Anyone that doesn’t say Leon hasn’t shot a man in cold blood before.
Mike Ehrmantraut was pretty decent as well.

Watched this last night. Despite the magnificent eye candy it was awful. These 'hitmen' pretty cool though.

Researching something and got distracted by this. I like Leon and Martin Blank from this list and I'll add in Steve Buscemi as Mr Shhh in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead.

Who's your favourite onscreen hitman (or woman)?

Got to be the T1000 from Terminator 2 though I'm not sure he counts as he is an android.

Robert Mitchum as Max Cady
