Critics Consensus

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

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

Rated: 2/5

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.

Gone With The Twins

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

Rated: 6/10

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.

Rated: 1.5/4.0

I don't understand all the bad reviews. This film is very well made, it has some nice Easter eggs, and even the actor has learned to move like Hitman in the game. The missions are very well portrayed and Diana is well integrated. Everything that should appeal to a true Hitman fan. I've watched this film countless times and will watch it again and again because it's so well made. And what do I have to say about the negative comments? Haters gonna hate.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I think this movie received way more hate than it deserves. Is it perfect? No it is not…. But if you are a fan of the game and like action movies, the movie is pretty entertaining. Timothy Olyphant was a great pick for agent: 47 and played the part very well. His acting was definitely solid enough to carry the lead role. The movie had decent storyline and a good supporting cast with Olga Kurylenko as the sexy distraction from the action. Don’t over think the movie and just enjoy it for what it is. After all … It is based on a video game.

It was beautiful to me. I loved the original game. It's nothing like that but it's entertainment. It's just enough information to give us an idea of the characters. For me that's enough. The action is perfect. All in all. Perfect movie for me.

I think script could have been better because there are so many issues with this movie that can easily be solved just working on script. Action sequences are not good but given the fact that its from 2007 one can say its alright but script issue is big

Very good action scenes. In short, it fulfills the objective of a movie: having a good time watching an action movie.

Timothy Olyphant is brilliant and gives the role his all, but the movie itself is just mediocre. Worth a look for fans of the game or of action movies.
