I agree with most of your points in your review, 42nd, but the main reason I didn't like this movie was that the entire time I was watching it, I just couldn't honestly believe that this dude killed someone for money BEFORE getting paid. I mean, granted he's an amateur hitman, but I've never killed anyone and I would know better than to just take some drunk Baldwin's word for it that he was gonna pay me loads after the guy is dead.
Also, I thought his recovery and subsequent revenge were WAY too easy. You don't get beat in the head with a 3-iron 3 times a day for a week (or however long it was) and then just go to P.T. for a week and you're a-ok (if a bit "off"). Then he just walks up in Big Bad Baldwin's Haven for Bad Dudes and basically has his way with his former tormentors (and if I remember correctly, they're actually expecting him).
And I don't know if I'm remembering this correctly either (it's been a while), but I seem to recall a scene at the end where Tormentee is back to normal and his life is just candy and cigarettes.
