Contract on the Hitman: Difference between revisions

* ''Gomorra'' (2008). Two teenage hoodlums have been running out of control in the local Camorra clan's territory, despite warnings from the mob boss to behave themselves or die. They ignore this warning, stealing a cache of weapons hidden by the Camorra. An older mobster points out they'll have trouble with the police if two youngsters are killed publicly, so he approaches them with a deal -- for 10,000 euros they return the weapons and kill a mobster who has betrayed him. The youths follow their target to an isolated location, only to be murdered in an ambush and their bodies carted away by a bulldozer to be disposed of.

* Wesley Gibson {{spoiler|and his father, Cross}} in ''[[Wanted]]'' {{spoiler|but that was all one big [[Xanatos Gambit]] by his shady employer.}}

* Jeff Costello from ''[[Le Samourai]]'', the French movie that inspired ''[[The Killer]]''. He is seen leaving the scene of his latest hit, picked up by the police and questioned. His clients decide to kill him before he can implicate them.

* Partially subverted in the 1969 film ''The Assassination Bureau'' in that the head of the titular agency willingly accepts a contract on his own head as a challenge to weed out the unworthy elements within his organization.
