His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own.

It’s tempting to think Hitman undermines any beauty it musters with its habit of ridiculousness. Read full review

At the end, the door is left open for a sequel, but Agent 47 doesn’t feel like a character who’s got what it takes to be a franchise hero. He, and the film, are lacking in personality. Read full review

Writers Skip Woods and Michael Finch have a few tricks up their sleeves as betrayals emerge and allegiances shift. But it's not enough to make us care or to keep the third act from being a head-scratching mess. Read full review

It often seems that “Agent 47” is more concerned with landscape, buildings, offices and subway stations than it is with characters. It’s a lost cause and we lose interest long before we’re shown the exotic architecture of Singapore. Read full review

Hitman: Agent 47 is a film that bears nothing but a passing resemblance to the game that spawned it, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone, as it’s all just a cash grab, anyway. No choice but to wash, rinse, repeat: cha-ching. Read full review

Don't let the negative reviews put you off from this movie. Seriously.
Hitman: Agent 47 is really enjoyable action movie with some clever dialogues, pretty decent story and favorable acting by Rupert Friend as an agent 47.

You will see some cool stealth action scenes in the movie, and few more effective ones as well, but hey... who didn't tried to play loud with guns through the game, right? That's why you shouldn't listen to what some folks say about lacking of stealth and quiet stuff in this movie!!!

I'm giving it 10 out of 10 because this movie doesn't deserve so low score!!!… Expand

Rupert Friend totally fixed this movie! I don't get why you people are so stubborn to say that Hitman the games ALLWAYS is about stealth. Wrong!

I don't get why you people are so stubborn to say that Hitman the games ALLWAYS is about stealth. Wrong! You can choose if you want to close a contract slow, stealthy and use maybe several hours, or do it the easy way: Kill all the "bad guys" and move on like in this movie. If 47 (Friend) would go stealthy all the way, this movie then would last for 5 and 1/2 hours. I liked this movie better that 2007, because Timothy Olyphant just didn't fit as 47. He fits to be a pedophile child molester better than an assassin, with his freakish face. Only thing I didn't like with Hitman: Agent 47, is that Katia could kick and kill everybody's asses. Hitman is Hitman. No one is better, even if some are close. Critics can go eat a cinnamon bun… Expand

Enfin un film qui prend Hitman comme il est. De l'infiltration (scène compliquée dans un film car contraint le spectateur à attendre). Cependant ici c'est très bien retranscrit.

Plus some weird plot moments too and the acting wasn't completely convincing (it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either). It was watchable and didn't feel like a small budget movie, but in the same time it didn't have anything great about it that you would recommend it to your friends afterwards. If you don't compare it to Hitman game, then even, I didn't feel like it would have anything that amazing in it and probably after few months I'll forget that it even existed.… Expand

This movie sucks. Rupert Friend is alright as the character, but the characters themselves suck. The technical side is ok, but the movie sucks. Instead of it being interesting, it sucks. Oh and by the way, it sucks.

I'm all for some bad ass action, but the corniness of this movie frequently made me cringe. There's parts that make no sense, like a broken gun suddenly working and a 'jump in front of a bullet to save someone' moment WHILE HOLDING A LOADED GUN! The main characters are constantly standing inI'm all for some bad ass action, but the corniness of this movie frequently made me cringe. There's parts that make no sense, like a broken gun suddenly working and a 'jump in front of a bullet to save someone' moment WHILE HOLDING A LOADED GUN! The main characters are constantly standing in front of point blank automatic fire that sprays all around them in a perfect silhouette. The whole movie is just really silly with no stakes to it because the main characters are invincible. All they do is spin in circles all the time while firing dual pistols in all directions. It sounds cool, but this movie manages to make it all really lame. All in all I found it pretty boring.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you have seen the trailer, you have seen the movie... do not waste your money on this garbage. This movie simply proves once again that making another adaptation of a classic game is simply destined to failed. Hopefully in the future a good adaptation will finally be made, but so far, this is just another disappointment.… Expand
