How come nobody makes a movie about a hit-man's first day at work? It's always, one last job, trying to quit the business or forced into one more assignment.

In the movie Hit Man I don't think he wants to retire. Also Gross Point Blank.

because cops are always trying to retire.

They have. It's called "In Bruges" starring Colin Farrell in his best movie role so far.
I highly recommended this black comedy. It's just as good as, possibly better, than, the entertaining "Wild Target".
In Bruges was pretty good.

Here's another vote for In Bruges -- a very fine film, especially in comparison with the execrable Wild Target.
In other matters, I think Martin Blank actually *was* trying to retire by the end of Grosse Pointe Blank -- or at least was having existential doubts about his career choice. (BTW, for anyone who thinks Wild Target is actually a good film, I suggest a viewing of GPB, which did the "quirky hit man" idea much earlier and much better.)

In the Mechanic (either version). Didn't we the "apprentice's" first day?
If you can't walk and talk/text at the same time, do the rest of us a favor and get out of the way.
Though I hated the movie, "Wanted" is all about becoming a hitman
"I Have a Bad Feeling about This"
Another one about a hitman not looking to retire: The Last Contract, with Michael Kitchen.
Because it's a dangerous job and they want to have a family. And it's not a socially accepted profession. There's a point where you think you've used up all your lucky chances.
