Hit Lady (1974) (TV)

Too predictable, 24 August 2019

The Quick Pitch:  A female killer-for-hire wants out of the business after one last hit.  But will those in power let her walk away?

It looks like I disagree with all of the other user comments on IMDb.  The idea of a female hit-man was most likely a novel one in 1974, but ultimately, HIt Lady is just too predictable for me to really enjoy.  The twist ending was telegraphed far in advance. I kept hoping for one last plot turn, but alas, it never came. I’ll give Yvette Mimieux credit - she gives it her all.  But she let herself down as an actor with the script she wrote. Tracy Keenan Wynn’s direction adds nothing and it’s easy to see why this is his only directing credit. Finally, the film’s repetitive score is more annoying than anything else.  Other than Mimieux, the lone highlight for me was Joseph Campanella in a supporting role. As for the rest of the acting, the less said the better.
