Watch Hitman: Agent 47 For Free

Too much of everything

One of the best films i have seen

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Hit-man: Agent 47 is a follow-up to the 2007 dud and thankfully an improved production, although still only average overall. The plot features a young woman with special powers who is being pursued by assassins and a sinister organisation with plans to create an army of super soldiers. Rupert Friend takes on the lead role, replacing Timothy Olyphant in the original, and the good news is that he's a far better fit and a better actor to boot. The rest of the film is dominated with action sequences - reminiscent of JOHN WICK at times, with the director of that film handling the choreography, although not on the same level - and lots of meagre CGI effects which look like they were created on the cheap. It's a passable piece of entertainment, and anything with Ciaran Hinds in it has to be worth a look in my mind, but it's also completely forgettable.

i like the first one (hitman 2007), and when I heard about this , i was so excited i thought it's the sequel or something like that , but after i watched it , omg !? this one was so so disappointed .it's supposed to be a movie about (hitman) which means crime ,action and blood, etc. but they turn the movie to a (superhero genre) who take many bullets and still walk !! really !! wtf .overall 2/10.

First, let's get this out of the way. This is not as good as the video game that spawned it. Rupert Friend almost looks the part but simply doesn't have that Agent 47 quality. It is a little like if you had Jennifer Aniston play Lara Croft. Rupert isn't helped by a plot that suffers from this time it's personal syndrome (see latest Bond films). Everybody is someone's sister, father, cousin, former chiropractor's receptionist. It is a tired idea that has been beaten to death in action films of late.So the acting is subpar, the story is filled with tired tropes and it doesn't do justice to the source material. Thank god it looks so good and the action set pieces that start okay get more spectacular as the movie moves along. If you can get past the someone subpar opening bit that is more Steven Seagal than Terminator the ride improves. That all this movie really is, a forgettable ride among some nice scenery. Sometimes that is enough for a Saturday night on the couch with the wife.

While the original Hit-man adaptation was not as bad as the Max Payne adaptation, it still seemed to lack some of the stylish choices of the game. If you have played the games, than a lot of shots that are used in the movie here will seem familiar. I'm a bit shocked that another reviewer didn't like the amount of shots the "reloading" of the guns got in this. If that bothers you, than any action movie will seem "bad" in the sense that there is more shooting than reloading.Same is true here, but the main actor seems to capture the essence of the game character. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie of course (see rating), but it does a really good job and does not take anything for granted. Trying to please fans of the game and action fans at the same time is not the easiest thing to do. But going for an "R" instead of making this a family friendly affair (Hitman just isn't that) shows the amount of respect for the source the filmmakers brought to the table.So if you're looking for a decent action movie or you actually enjoy the games, this probably will please you (except for the mentioned reloading sequences of course :p )
