What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hitman: Agent 47 fails to clear the low bar set by its predecessor, forsaking thrilling action in favor of a sleekly hollow mélange of dull violence and product placement.

Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com The only actor in this movie that I felt actually brought his A-game was probably Rupert Friend... He was good as the character, but it was a boring, boring character. Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto You'd think a movie based on a video game would have more streamlined action sequences instead of the muddled shootouts here. Rated: 2/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) That none of it makes any sense is not a problem, but the failure to raise the temperature despite endless shootouts, punch-ups, car chases et al is a fatal flaw. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2015 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The action definitely has more fire than the story or its characters, but that’s a pretty low bar. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Any audience versed in even a meager sampling of the past decade's action movies will find nothing exceptional about this 2015 reboot. Rated: 3/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Not to be gunned down if trashy entertainment is your thing. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan L Movie was really fun to watch, my wife don't like video games but she really enjoyed the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Michael D There are far worse action movies out there. The settings chosen are spectacular, unfortunately that's about it. The action sequences are passable apart from some extremely jarring cgi, characters are pretty bland and the story is paper thin. Worth a watch with out needing to know all the lore behind the Hitman franchise. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Kashgar A Certainly not as bad as the critics make out. This is the first time I’ve ever seen it…Netflix is giving it a run right now. Fun way to spend an evening Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Ben S 8%!!!!! That’s rubbish. I put off watching this for years because of that low score but just watched it on Netflix and enjoyed every minute. Bloody critics. I thought the director did a very decent job with some subtle scenes that were great to watch, he did a really good job and the story was actually really good. They kind of used the plots of terminator 1 and 2 in one movie which was a really cool thing to do in my opinion. I mean who the hell wouldn’t dig that in an action movie? The acting was perfectly fine too, nothing wrong with it at all. I loved the leading lady and definitely would want to see more of her. I really think that this director and these actors could collaborate again and do some really great work. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Eric C I guess I really like trashy movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Jonathan R While this movie isn’t a good movie on its own, being a fan of the Hitman franchise has made me appreciate this movie. I understand how some “critics” could rate it so low, but this is probably one of the best movie adaptation of a video game I’ve seen or can think of. There are nice touches of the game’s mechanics and the point of the games (at least back in 2015 since the story/game has changed over the years) being to kill the target and be unseen. I would almost consider this a nice origin story for 47 since Friend look very much like a younger version of the character. Overall, this movie is a nice watch for fans of the video games. I am glad it is faithful to the franchise while still being “grounded”. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
