Norris plays Cliff Garret, a Seattle cop who is mortally wounded in a drug bust. Garret's condition is grave but he manages to pull through. However, the Seattle police have plans for him and put out the word that Garret has died. When Garret regains his strength, he is given a new identity as hit man Danny Grogan and is assigned to go undercover and infiltrate the crime family of Marco Luganni (Al Waxman). "Grogan" must bring both Luganni and rival gang-lord Andre Lacombe (Marcel Sabourin) into police custody. But his past comes back to haunt him in the person of Ronny Delany (Michael Parks), a goon from Grogan's Garret days, who threatens to blow his cover. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
Entertainingly bad.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
The film is not actually any more brainless than most of these punch-and-shoot melodramas, and it will probably be a must-buy for any Norris fan.

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
The Hitman is Norris's attempt to do something darker, something riskier than he usually does.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
One of Chuck's more generic efforts.
