There are so many diaries out there: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," "The Princess Diaries," "The Vampire Diaries," "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," even "The Diaries of a Call Girl." This movie is enough to make me avoid diaries from here on out.
Forest Whitaker plays Dekker, a hitman who is a consummate professional up until this one job. A man named Alex Zidzyck (Lewis Smith) hired him to kill his wife and baby. Instead of turning the job down he accepted the job with much trepidation.
The movie was alright until Dekker got to the woman's house. The entire hit started off bad. When she opened the door she popped champagne in his eyes thinking he was her husband. Then, her sister came over and was a pain to get rid of. Finally, he and the woman go round-and-round as he has an existential crisis about who he is and what he's doing. It was a real unwatchable mess that never got back on track. He eventually killed Zidzyck, spared the woman and helped her start a new life. In a better movie it would've been heartwarming. In this movie it was stale and out of place.
Whitaker did a good job playing the raspy voiced, spastic hitman. That's not to say I liked him at all, his character and the movie was vacuous and impotent, I'm just saying Whitaker did a good job.
