Our Favorite Movie Hit Men

If you want to make it as a Hollywood hit man, you better be packing a lot of brains along with your Glock -- like Keanu Reeves does in ‘John Wick 2.’ Here’s a look back at some of Hollywood’s most memorable contract killers.  

Tom Cruise has starred in some of Hollywood’s biggest hits...but none as bloody as the “hits” he laid out in the 2004 film ‘Collateral.’ As Vincent, the white-haired gun for hire, it’s not just Cruise’s looks that kill, if you know what we mean. 

Armed with a cattle bolt gun and a massive chip on his shoulder, Anton Chigurh definitely has a killer instinct...not to mention a killer haircut. Javier Bardem took home a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of the steely sociopath.  

Technically, Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch) is a “bounty hunter” but we see no need to split hairs when deciding who wears a killer’s crown...besides the last guy that pissed him off wound up in a carbon freeze (we’re talking to you, Han Solo).

What’s a girl to do when her angry ex and his band of femme fatales gun down her fiancé?  When you’re The Bride (Uma Thurman), you wake up from a four year coma, rested and ready to kick the $@#! of the five people who destroyed your life and killed your baby.  

Most people go to their high school reunion to see old friends. Martin Blank (John Cusack) went to his to pull off a hit. If they knew the greeting he gave a federal agent sent to take him out, the reunion committee definitely would have voted Martin “Most Likely to Rip Your Throat Out”  

When it comes to building the perfect killing machine, the 47^th time is the charm. Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) is an elite, genetically engineered assassin. It might have taken 46 tries, but this guy definitely wound up with some killer strength, speed, stamina and
intelligence — literally. 

Smart, savage and suffering from a bad case of amnesia, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is stone-cold killer who’s never at a loss to find a new way for his targets to meet their maker. takes a special something to be able to off a guy with a phone book — and Bourne has it...even if he can’t remember where he got it. 

The Batman and Robin of Hollywood hit men, Vincent (John Travolta) and
Jules (Samuel L. Jackson), these comic killers make whacking people seem like a divine act from above...maybe that’s got something to do with the prophetic Bible verse Jules recites before putting a slug into someone. 

Ah-nuld might have been the original cyborg killer but it’s the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) that really deserves the glory. Made of liquid metal, this time –traveling, shape-shifting cyborg takes creative killing to a whole new level. Remember when he speared the woman through the milk carton? So do we...and we haven’t slept since.
