A much better film than I was expecting. The plot isn't insultingly simple, and the action sequences are quite stylish. I was pleasantly surprised by Timothy Olyphant's performance. Although the film departs from the game by having a more human 47, it works.
this movie kicked some you know what
Terrific. One of the better movies of the year. Definitely go see it.
The movie took it's route down the slightly 'self-mocking' path with some cheesy one liners and hilarious scenes.
pretty good, hard to understand abit
One of the best, if not the best action films of the year. I had a permanent smile on my face the action and storyline was so good. i could not have enjoyed it more. i was expecting less for sure but man do it ever blow my mind. the assinato=ions were amaing, the angles were definitley like the games, and the love intereset only added to the flavor. Kudos to Timothy Olphant who did some serious getting jacked for this movie, couldn't have picked a more suitable hitman. Amazing movie, go watch it now.
It was fun to watch, with some good and some bad points. However, if you're looking for an oscar, this is definately not it. A little bit too fast paced, or just really confusing at times. All in all, 3 stars.
Not the worst, but definetely not the best. Olyphant does a pretty convincing 47 - soft spoken, polite and precise. From the way he moves to his composure and behaviour - everything was captured brilliantly. Sadly, apart from 47 and some interesting references to the game, there is not much else to look at. The plot was stolen from Uwe Boll, no doubt. Much of the setting concerned depiction of Russian military. I won't even mention an Mi24 in the middle of a city, and barely let slip about FSB storm troopers, dressed in something I can only identify as troop armour from the movie Starship Troopers. Still, watching Timothy was a delight.
thsi movie was the best!!
It's not perfect but it's a decent adaption of the HITMAN VIDEO GAME... for anyone expecting more, well... you set yourself up for it.
