They offer a look back at historical events that helped shaped us, a relatable reminder that we’re all in this together, an exploration of the world we want to live in as opposed to the world we’re creating, the importance of maintaining hope in even the darkest times, and a subtle reminder that entertainment in all its glorious forms is still a powerful tool, and when done right, it can illuminate the value and importance of creativity in today’s world. The 90 specs that make the 2017 Hit List are among the most reflective of our time that we’ve ever read. We’ve seen more than 100 writers return to the list more than once, as well as 25 Launch Pad Alums gracing these pages. We’ve seen more than 350 Hit List projects go on to land on other Best Of lists, and more than 100 go on to earn Oscar and box office wins alike. We’ve seen the rise, fall, and rise again of companies, representatives and genres, as the industry and audiences change. We’ve counted more than 22,000 votes from 4,000 voters, and tallied the list down from the more than 3,000 eligible specs that have hit the market since 2010. With 90 new spec scripts making the Hit List this year, we’ve now had the pleasure of seeing 707 different specs land on our annual Best Of list, representing the endlessly creative minds of 883 writers. With the release of our eighth annual list, we’re incredibly proud to shine a light on this year’s writers, and the projects that made them the talk of the town in 2017. Overall, The Hit List is hugely entertaining with strong direction, a good script but slightly miscast actors.With 2017 about to slip into our rearview, it’s time once again to present the best spec scripts of the year, as voted on by Hollywood. When the film first started I thought “Oh, I know how this is going to go” but was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns. There’s an awesome explosion towards the end and the final shoot-out in the police station is spectacular. The film is only 90 minutes and you don’t notice the time going through. The dialogue is natural and flows well and the pacing is really tight too.
Either way, that’s the only thing that jarred with me in this otherwise taut and exciting thriller. Cuba has a gentle face and is just too likable to come across as a nasty villain. plays a rare villain role and I wonder if it would have been more convincing if the roles were reversed with Cuba in the good guy role and Hauser as the assassin. I’d look more for a Jason Bateman type actor who seems kinda nerdy.Ĭuba Gooding Jr.
That’s not to say that he isn’t good in the role, he just isn’t who I would’ve chosen. I say solid because I’m not entirely convinced that Cole Hauser comes across as a guy who couldn’t stand up for himself he naturally has a strong face and in no way does he seem “weak”.
Review: William Kaufman directs another cracking action thriller with an intriguing story and solid performances. Plot: “A disgruntled man (Cole Hauser) creates a hit list with a stranger (Cuba Gooding Jr.) during a drunken night out and must then race to try to save those he marked for extermination as the bodies begin to pile up and all fingers point to him.” The Hit List is hugely entertaining with strong direction, a good script but slightly miscast actors.
