Good story and depiction of the game. Olyphant did a great job playing the bald character!
... View MoreThis was a really awesome movie adaptation based on the awesome "Hit-man" video game series. The characters have depth and and a really well written story with wonderful action scenes. Agent 47 even has a REALLY HOT partner Nika Boronina (Olga Kurylenko) which made it even better! You won't want to miss this movie is your a fan of the game series!I give Hit-man a 7/10
... View MoreMost 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.

View MoreAn 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.
