THE HIT LIST

What has happened to Cuba Gooding, Jr?  Is this the best work he can get?

Film's about a milquetoast guy who's just lost a promotion, been beaten up by a loanshark, and has walked in on his cheating wife with his best friend.  Lead heads to a bar where he unknowingly strikes up a conversation with a hitman.  The hitman tells the lead to make up a hit list: five people he'd like to see dead.

Trouble ensues when the hitman starts killing off the people on the list.  Now the lead must man-up and stop this assassin.

Terrible premise.  Film is even worse.  Utterly forgettable.  This is connect-the-dots type writing.  The viewer is five scenes ahead of the movie at all times.

How does a script like this get funding?
