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.

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

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.

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.

Honestly, as far as video game movies go, Hitman is honestly just there. It doesn't do anything remarkably well or remarkably poor, it's just, at its core, a movie that exists. Timothy Olyphant does deliver a good performance (I didn't see bald Olyphant, I saw Agent 47), the action's fine and while there isn't a heavy emphasis on stealth, there is at least an in-story justification that there are people actively gunning for him. Can't say I cared much for the film's attempts to ship 47 with Olga Kurylenko. It felt rather silly seeing how a professional assassin like him does not strike me as the kind of guy in search of a girlfriend. Even without taking the source material into account, this didn't sit right with me. Of course, there are other absurd moments such as Desmond from Lost conveniently leaving the firearms loaded for 47 and a fight scene against his fellow hitmen that's never brought up again. But on the whole, Hitman is just another action movie that felt to me like it was gunning for the 24/Bourne crowd that only stands out because of the IP it's adapting. I wonder if the 2015 reboot is as absurdly bad as fans of the game say it is. Guess I'll find out soon enough. Why they kept this film's screenwriter for that film, especially since it was following the cinematic disaster that was Die Hard 5 (script penned by the same guy), is a mystery to me.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

One of the better game to movie vanilla translation. Hey, have you seen House of the Dead? Hitman is Oscar worthy in comparison...but only comparison. It's by the numbers and leaves you caring little.
