3/10
It started in an amazing way but gradually progressed in a bland film
7 May 2014
Hopefully they didn't pay the screenwriter too much, because he wrote this story with his hands tied behind his back in a long night session. What a simplistic insignificant story.

Short summary:

Mafia Boss 1 employs hit-man 1 (Cuba) to eliminate Mafia boss 2

Hit-man 1 misses the under boss of Mafia boss 2

Underboss employs hit-man 1 to eliminate Mafia boss 1 (plus entourage)

Mafia boss 1 employs hit-man 2 (Dolf) to eliminate the under boss (plus entourage)

The boss of hit-man 1 betrays hit-man 1

Confrontation between hit-man 1 and hit-man 2

Hit-man 1 saves hit-man 2 his life

Confrontation hit-man 1 (+ his boss) with Mafia boss 1

Hit-man 2 assassins Mafia boss 1 (Yep I didn't really see that one coming) and saves hit-man 1

Hit-man 1 & 2 become best buddies

And there you have it. I could have made that up easily in one night. Mix that with an idyllic story of a handsome chick who lives in Prague, who was the daughter of someone who was eliminated by Cuba and the picture is complete.

Nevertheless it started really well. The opening credits looked almost like "Se7en". The scene in which Cuba uses a huge sniper rifle and the way it's filmed, is fantastic. And then it slumps down and transforms into a common "Terence Hill & Bud Spencer" story, but with guns and machine guns instead of fists.
