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.

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

Rated: 1.5/5

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

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.

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

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.

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
