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.

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.

You'd think a movie based on a video game would have more streamlined action sequences instead of the muddled shootouts here.

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.

1.5/5

As an action B-movie, it's uneven and weird, but ultimately fine. As an adaptation, it's horrendous.

The action definitely has more fire than the story or its characters, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Any audience versed in even a meager sampling of the past decade's action movies will find nothing exceptional about this 2015 reboot.

I've read other reviews and I seriously don't understand all the hate. Hitman original story for a video game that's just repetitive killing isn't half bad. Rupert is the best part of this movie and he brings a very different air to Olyphant did to the character. I wouldn't call this a reboot at all and I think that's where people are expecting too much. The actions scenes are methodical, much like the video game itself. Worth a watch.

As somebody who has played all of the hitman games. This makes absolutely no sense in terms of game cannon or general plot. Very dull.

It takes a special kind of movie to be bad and boring.
