A professional assassin known only as Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) gets caught up in a dangerous political takeover. He flees across Eastern Europe, hoping to find out who set him up and why. However, his growing attachment to a beautiful but traumatized young woman poses as great a threat to his survival as that of the Interpol and Russian agents who are hunting him down.

Critics Consensus

Hitman features the unfortunate combination of excessive violence, incoherent plot, and inane dialogue.

2/5

The title is probably misspelt -- there should be an S in front.

As far as it being a video game, I was in the theater and I was trying to work the remote control to close the curtains and turn the sound down.

6/10

The creators have gone to great lengths to showcase the blood, bullets, and babes requisite for a proper translation of the popular assassin adventure.

1.5/4.0

Fans of video-game inspired action flicks are likely to find enough moments of action, gore and gunfighting to make the whole thing worth watching once it hits home video.

Quite enjoyed it. Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott and Olga Kurylenko convincing in character. Well written, dialogue in line with the game it is based on. Good cinematography. Lots of action, violence, emotion, intrigue, drama, some melodrama, suspense and grit. The review ratings on RT not in line with other platforms, which rates it higher. Entertaining and captivating

Whose brilliant idea was it to waste the talent and charm of Timothy Olyphant in this crappy film? It plays to none of Olyphant's strengths and puts him in the role of a robotic psychopathic killer. Just dumb. Like the so-called plot of this movie.

I don't understand where the hate is coming from. Yes, I know even Timothy Olifant only took this role because he needed the money and thank God he took it because he did a great job. I feel like this role may have been one of the reasons he got casted as the bad guy in Die Hard 4. To me it felt like there was enough action in it and the little goofy moments made it an overall good watch to be enjoyed years later.
