Professional Killer: Difference between revisions

* Vincent from ''[[Collateral]]'' is most definitely an assassin.

* Both Rath and Bane from ''Assassins'' are assassins, complete with the [[Weird Trade Union]] and all. However, Rath looks down on Bane for Bane's greater willingness to kill, including innocent bystanders or cops.

* Jules and Vincent of ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' are either hitmen or else just general [[Hired Guns]]. They follow the assassin archetype in some ways, however, both being [[Badass in a Nice Suit]], making snappy conversation and generally being presented as 'cool' ('competent' is another matter).

* Brighton Beach's young in ''[[Little Odessa]]'' are all either hitmen or hitmen wannabes. They live in a sucky neighbourhood, wear leather jackets, have slicked-back hair, and are generally unrefined and not too bright.

'''Joubert''': Oh, no. It's quite restful. It's almost peaceful. [[Neutral Evil|No need to believe in either side, or any side.]] There is no cause. There's only yourself. The belief is in your own precision. }}

* Angel Eyes in ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]'' is a soulless mercenary who hunts down and executes targets for [[Only in It For the Money|the money]]. He's portrayed as an utterly cold-blooded sociopath who doesn't so much as bat an eye while having a man tortured in front of him, extorts money from prisoners of war, and always sees a job through to the end once he's been paid.
