William Forsythe of The Rock and Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead stars in this action thriller about a retiring hitman who finds his final job to be much more than meets the eye. Deciding he's done with the business of killing, John Hatch (Forsythe) informs his CIA handlers that his next hit will be his last. Unfortunately, he soon discovers that his target isn't a criminal at all. Refusing to take the woman out, Hatch instead takes it upon himself to protect her and expose the web of corruption at work. Also starring George Segal and Jo Champa, Direct Hit features an appearance by baseball legend Steve Garvey.
