    Reviews

    Hitman action thriller

    "Fun ozzie thriller film hits the right notes. Highly recommended for genre fans! 4/5 stars!"

    — Stephen H. (4/5)

    Australian Crime Thriller

    "Hitman’s Hero is a low‑budget Australian crime film that blends dark humor with a gritty character study. It follows Paul, a man who witnessed a murder as a child and grows up to lead a double life as a suburban family man and part‑time assassin. The film leans into its offbeat tone—mixing crime, comedy, and a touch of melancholy—as Paul’s attempt to emulate the hitman he once admired spirals into complications."

    — Tarek E. (3/5)

    — Andrew D. (4/5)

    good movie. The actor now

    "good movie. The actor now does a podcast called the wasp files."

    — Steven S. (5/5)

    Hitman’s hero

    "Hitman’s Hero (also known as Sensitive New Age Killer) is a wonderfully offbeat action-comedy that balances deadpan humor with stylish crime thrills. Its quirky tone and confident performances give the film a distinctive personality that sets it apart from typical hitman fare. It’s a clever, cult-friendly ride that embraces its oddball charm and delivers plenty of memorable moments."

    — Jeffrey W. (5/5)

    Hitman's Hero

    "Also called Sensitive New Age Killer, this Australian romp is another fine example of their dark comedy/action films. Another semi budget film from underrated Mark Savage."

    — Armand P. (4/5)

    Solid

    "Unexpectedly solid thriller. Great slipcover and transfer."

    — Brett C. (4/5)

    Excellent Release

    "This romp is quite the package! Really enjoyed it, totally worth picking up on sale or regularly priced!"

    — Eli O. (5/5)

    Comedic crime flick

    "An entertaining crime romp flick with some memorable kills. Centers around a character who grows up admiring a hitman and wants to become one, but it's more a lover than a killer. Comes with a handful of extras and pretty cool packaging artwork."

    — Kresh R. (3/5)

    Hitman’s Hero

    "Dark comedy/thriller movie with some gritty scenes. Never heard of it before but took the chance and enjoyed it. It knows its place and doesn’t venture out into parts unknown."

    — Britton H. (5/5)
