One of my favorite Every thing is perfect about this movie

A gun-for-hire known only as Agent 47 hired by a group known only as 'The Organization' is ensnared in a political conspiracy, which finds him pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military as he treks across Russia and Eastern Europe. I don't understand why so many people hate his film i just can't cause Hit-man does feel like a video game movie especially next to the mediocre and 'ok' reboot from 2015 where he turned into freaking Chuck Norris. Plus Timothy Olyphant is an amazing actor and he does fit the part of the cold bloody killer known as Agent 47 plus i liked the fact that even someone like him had some emotions sometimes cause he could Nika so many times and he didn't do it because deep down he cared a lot about her and so did she and i liked that part of the movie it was interesting and pretty sad too if you think about it. Plus there's some amazing fight sequences where he gets to fight other Agents with swords and his fists and he pretty much "destroyed" everyone that they send to kill him. Even the final shot of the film feels like a poster straight out of the game, there's silent kills, fast kills and big explosions, with choppers spreading hell, naked women, a great soundtrack, performances and basically everything that you want to see from a video game film is in here. In fact this, Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia are still my favorite video game movies regardless of what anyone thinks about them. Plus like i said Timothy Olyphant is incredible and fits the part so well. (A+)

To what depths has Western civilization fallen when the sight of hundreds of people being slaughtered by an emotionless genetically engineered killing machine is regarded as entertainment? I see from the reviews here at IMDb that Hit-man is an adaptation of not a book but ... drum roll ... a popular video game! In other words, countless people are entertaining themselves on their devices by attempting to kill icons representing human beings. Basically, they are all lethal drone operators in training. The movie is fast-paced--perfect for the modern sufferer of ADHD--and the crisp cinematography was appreciated. However, those two small virtues could in no way compensate for the many filmic deficiencies of this production, including acting, plot, and story. All of these defects would no doubt be overlooked by viewers whose brains are bathing in SSRIs or "performance-enhancement" drugs and whose concept of success is purely quantitative. I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the people who gave this film a 10, but more is not always better. More corpses are not better than fewer. Unless, of course, you are a genetically engineered or chemically programmed killing machine.

I remember seeing this when it came out in theaters back in 2007 and not being terribly impressed, and now watching it for a second time seven years later nothing's really changed. Xavier Gens has a cool visual style, but it's wasted on a terrible script by Skip Woods and a less-than-charismatic performance by Timothy Olyphant. The plot, if one can call it that, has Agent 47 (Olyphant) on a mission to take out a Russian politician, but he ends up being double-crossed and goes to take out the people responsible. Along the way, he meets an attractive Russian prostitute (Olga Kurylenko) who might be able to help him. The best thing I can say about the movie is that it's well-shot and has some cool imagery that looks good in slow-motion. The bad is about everything else, although the style does make it a little more palatable. Olyphant was a blank slate as the main character, Agent 47, and his line delivery was borderline abysmal at times. There were some attempts at humor, but mostly his character was bland and his performance lifeless. Olga Kurylenko was also not so great as his would-be love interest/assistant. Her appearance in the film was mostly as a plot device, and her performance wasn't good either. And the villains? Your standard generic Eastern Europeans. Throw in Interpol, and you have the ingredients for what could have been a thrilling, globe-hopping adventure but it just stumbles along from set-piece to set-piece with little logic or reason. What it comes down to is that there is no reason to care about any of the characters on screen or the story. Overall, I'm glad that this came free with a purchase I made for someone else. Otherwise, I would have never spent the money on this turkey. I'll give it credit for having some visual flair, as well as a pretty good score, but the script was DOA. Recommended only for the least demanding of viewers, or if you're a fan of video game adaptations.
