When I first saw Hangmen, I don't think I watched all of it. In fact I remember I found it boring. Cut to a few years later where I'm now in the nineties, I viewed it again, this time finding it much more entertaining. It does have a lot of acting and VIOLENCE by some quite merciless parties. And you know what it also has, besides an impactful and involving lead- a young Sandra Bullock in her first pic, ever. Hangmen of course isn't the best film ever made, or even good, but it is a quite involving popcorn flick if giving a chance. There might be a couple of moments you feel yourself droning, but I found the whole thing quite a nifty B grade Canadian action pic, with unknowns, except for it's partial known lead and Bullock. The story is quite good of an CIA agent, told to stand down, as so a corrupt agency can do their own thing, only our main guy intervenes, thus bringing hell down on him and his men who are taken out. His son who's girlfriend (Bullock) like himself was taken, teams up with an old CIA buddy of his Dad's to get her back. We have some quite nasty baddies in this appealing pic, and Bullock, shows us how real stars are born. There are much worse movies out there, than this one, believe me. Go easy on it, give a chance.
