In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

It all comes down to the fact that Agent 47 doesn't look or act the part. The suit, gloves, his weapons - they're all very authentic, but his looks, voice, and especially his guns blazing style with explosions and insane noise making - it's all wrong. This isn't a silent assassin, it's more like Bruice WIllis in a suit on the set of Die Hard.First thing I noticed about the "world" of this movie is how badly men are portrayed - generic "fat losers playing games", generic wife beaters, generic all bad things. And they're included for no reason whatsoever. Just your typical "we threw this unrelated scene in here to remind you men are horrible because we are Hollywood". The vast, general unoriginality of this movie is shining almost as bright as the visual effects inside the many computer screens showing flashy animations unlike how any software works in real life but like how they often appear in most bad hacker movies.As per Hollywood law there's also a raggedy female sidekick wearing hipster homeless man clothes and untied shoes, waving a gun around (as you know, we need the strong whamen to be featured in every movie despite Agent 47's only minor sidekick being Agent Smith - a man, and even including him would've been a mistake).What killed me is that suddenly Diana makes an appearance and she's a generic demanding asian woman instead of a classy, middle aged british woman. Laughed my ass off. How hard was it to at least do this one simple thing right and hire a british woman to play a british woman? I bet she'll be black in the next movie, and maybe black, transgender and with purple hair in the third one, right? Lame ass virtue signalling Hollywood racial politics b/s.Seeing and hearing Diana, that's when I was finally like "okay, I'm definitely not watching a Hitman movie".Also, 47 isn't even the main character. "The girl" is. She's worthless until 47 finds her, then suddenly she's a "cool killing machine". She's ungrateful and annoying, just the most generic forced female character. So the movie isn't even about 47. The camera's on her way more than him. It's trash show on all ends. Speaking of ends, the ending is just as corny as the rest of it, and far from anything related to the games. Where as in the games Diana and 47 have a connection and care for each other, asian Diana here seems to not because it's more edgy that way according to Hollywood.Did I mention 47 ends up fighting a Terminator? Yes, it's not just Die Hard, ideas are rehashed from Terminator as well.They seem to have taken clues only from the one Hitman game that nobody likes and didn't have much to do with the franchise itself - Absolution.The best way to sum up this movie is calling it a mash-up of tired old action movie ideas with a knock-off Agent 47 thrown in it.I could've enjoyed the action aspects of it at least, if the story was somehow related to the game, or if men weren't portrayed this badly in no relation to the plot or any reason whatsoever. Or if the actor playing Hitman at least sort of looked or sounded like him. I don't understand why you won't just hire the voice actor for Agent 47 - he might be an older gent but he looks and SOUNDS the part - make a movie about 47 in his later years, whatever, I don't know. Bruice Willis is old and still stars in action movies - it can work. Of course even getting the real deal to play 47, you'll need good writing and this didn't have that.For fans of absolutely the most generic action movies of the 80's and 90's, and zero knowledge on the game series - you might enjoy this. For fans of the game series - you'll definitely not enjoy it, it's almost as bad as the previous Hitman movie with Timothy Olyphant, and that's some achievement.

HelloThis is my first review and i have no idea how it will be.Re-watching the movie again,both actually,got me thinking that in the first part,Agent 47 was so bad a** and tough looking guy compared to the new one. That is actually why i gave 10 stars to the first and only 4 to the sequel.Now can someone tell/explain me why they changed the actor of Agent 47 ?Thanks Cheers

I enjoyed the games back in the day, and I also enjoyed the first "Hitman" movie from 2007. I was aware of this movie, but never really got around to watch it before I happened to come across it by sheer luck and then took the time to watch it.And I was blown away. I had really been missing out on an action movie of high caliber here. "Hitman: Agent 47" kicks up into high gear from the very beginning and it doesn't slow down.The story was good, albeit it is quite simplistic. Agent 47 teams up with a woman to find her father and thus finding out about her story and background."Hitman: Agent 47" just pounds you with everything it got, and it is a thrill to sit through it all. Especially because director Aleksander Bach really punched the movie into explosive gear and just kept assaulting the audience with one impressive scene after another.There is so much action in this movie, that even us who grew up with the movies of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, and the likes can't help to be impressed. I was blown away by the overload of action and adrenaline that this movie has. And it was all choreographed so nicely and equally so executed on the screen. It was a pure pleasure to sit through this explosive movie.At first I was a bit hesitant about how Rupert Friend would handle the role of Agent 47. But he put my hesitation to shame early on in the movie. He was so right for this role and he was an excellent choice for Agent 47. I dare actually say that he played the part much better than Timothy Olyphant did back in 2007."Hitman: Agent 47" really took me by surprise, and this is definitely a movie that you can watch more than once. If you enjoy action movies and haven't gotten around to watching "Hitman: Agent 47" yet, I can only encourage you to get around to doing it, because you are really missing out on an explosive movie.

Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) is a genetically engineered assassin created by Doctor Petr Litvenko (Ciarán Hinds). Katia van Dees (Hannah Ware) is stressed by her super awareness. She is looking for her father and is approached by John Smith (Zachary Quinto) who offers to protect her. Agent 47 is coming after her but not necessarily for the expected.The twist is cool but nothing else is. The play on name is a fun little reveal. The characters are charisma-free. Agent 47 has never seems to be lead character material. Katia could be the lead but Hannah Ware doesn't have it. She is absolutely stunning but there is a lack of power. The action is mostly chaos with a few cool moments. This is not a compelling movie.
