Hitman (2007)

Good story and depiction of the game. Olyphant did a great job playing the bald character!

Most people who enjoyed Hit-man are those who haven't played the games, whereas those who have didn't enjoy the film. We are all entitled to our own opinion. However, I haven't played the Hit-man games, and I didn't enjoy the film.The film is another of those action movies with a plot so illogical it hurts your head trying to work out what's going on. The main story is that Agent 47 has set up on a mission, but why? Why do the other hit men want him dead? And if 47 is seen as a ghost, why have Interpol been chasing after him for so long? The film tries many twists and turns but doesn't provide any real answers, and ends up being a confused mess.Another of the film's faults is that it's all told in flashback. After 5 minutes in, we are then told that all upcoming events happened three months before. So any possible dramatic tension has been thrown out the window.So overall, Hit-man is another video game to film adaptation with an incoherent story that lets you down. If I had a go at playing the games, I think I'd be more entertained.

I really don't understand what you don't like about this movie, because I really enjoyed it. While the story is not revolutionary or something, it is still good and hides the plot as long as possible from you, which keeps you excited about three quarters of the movie. And in the other quarter of the movie, you are still excited, because you wanna know how agent 47 works it out.There are only a few action scenes in this movie, which are all fights, and these are really good.What I liked the most was not knowing what is going to happen next, or what I would do in this situation, but seeing agent 47 exactly knowing what he is doing. But the movie does not tell you what he is about to do, so you have to figure it out yourself, which is very difficult too because agent 47 is a very close-mouthed person and so on and so on.Definitely a recommendation.

An international assassin known only as Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) carries out high-profile hits for a mysterious organization known only as "The Agency" in this adaptation of the popular Eidos Interactive video-game series. Agent 47 is an elite, genetically engineered assassin who takes great pride in his work. His lethal grace, steady shot, and unparalleled precision have all served to make him one of the most sought-after assassins in the world. But when the killer without a conscience is faced with an unanticipated series of developments, his entire perception of reality begins to shift. On assignment to take out Russian head of state Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen), Agent 47 is caught off guard by the appearance of presidential look-alikes. When the high-profile hit captures the attention of such powerful intelligence organizations as the CIA and Interpol, agent Mike Whittier (Dougray Scott) is dispatched to rein Agent 47 in. Meanwhile, a mysterious Russian prostitute named Nika (Olga Kurylenko) has walked into Agent 47's life, causing the methodical killer to become overwhelmed by emotions that were previously foreign to him.
