But how close it that to reality? When someone is gunned down, does the person pulling the trigger really fit this super-cool stereotype?

Hollywood loves to glamorize the life of the hit man. In the real world, however, people willing to kill for money tend to share many traits with those who frequently kill for any other reason.
