 The US version, that is released by Columbia/TriStar (under the name  "Contract Killer"), is cut by about 6 mins.  The original version of the  film, which its original English title was "Hitman," runs at about 104 mins.  The US version runs at 98 mins.  Also, the original music has been removed  and replaced with a soundtrack containing mostly rap and the English dub that  is on Columbia/TriStars version dumbs down the original versions dialog  considerably.
