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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I, alongside many other millenial (or so we hate to be called, apparently) grew up with the Hitman franchise as our gold standard for assassin video games so it makes sense we would judge this movie harshly.

As for many of the pointless add-ons this movie brought to the franchise it was still a decent movie. If you asked me to buy it or recommend it, I would probably say no to buying and yes to watching it a few times every few years. The story is in the decent category. Agent 47 is contracted to find and eliminate a man who other Agents have failed to kill before. Then he meets a neo-Agent who just so happens to be the daughter of the creator of the Agent program. Also, there is a man who seemingly is immortal (getting shot and electrocuted just doesn’t seem to cut it when killing villian’s anymore). Now even though they added her as the pinnacle of the Agent legacy it still isn’t that far-fetched to say it never happened in the story which makes it feasible that it could happen in the movie. This by itself added more to Hitman itself than just doing your run of the mill one man sneaky Rambo. It was unique and stayed true to the story.

The “Hollywood” in this movie was pointlessly (but understandably) added to make this movie more bearable to watch. If we had 47 sneaking everywhere it wouldn’t be fun to watch, now would it? That said, the gunfights in public were too outlandish for me.

The build up to the ending was great by the way. We started off thinking we knew who the target was and then found out it was someone (someone’s) in this case. Good use of misleading us and in my opinion when its done in a way that drops hints but that we can’t tell its coming then its okay in my book.

Overall this movie is a decent one to watch, just don’t let your dogmatic views cloud your view of what makes a movie good and you’ll be able to watch this.… Expand

I never played the Hitman video game but I thought the movie looked to have a fairly interesting trailer. I thought it looked pretty badass and I must say that I was kind of interested in seeing this. The end result was pretty mediocre.

I thought it looked pretty badass and I must say that I was kind of interested in seeing this. The end result was pretty mediocre. Hitman: Agent 47 has got some decent action sequences that are entertaining but outside of the action I was nearly falling asleep in the scenes between. The screenwrite from the original failed film was somehow hired again for the reboot and it looks like the result was essentially the same. The acting isn't terrible with the exception of Zachary Quinto who is extremely wooden. Rupert Friend and Hannah Ware are fine but their characters were just so uninteresting that it really didn't matter how good they were. Add this one to the long list of crappy video game films.… Expand

Hitman: Agent 47 is nothing more than a dull action-thriller that barely resembles the game it's based off of, with the biggest issues being the loud, rambunctious action scenes which the games aren't very much about, and the two forgettable lead characters who I'm given no real reason toHitman: Agent 47 is nothing more than a dull action-thriller that barely resembles the game it's based off of, with the biggest issues being the loud, rambunctious action scenes which the games aren't very much about, and the two forgettable lead characters who I'm given no real reason to care for. If there is one positive, it's that the actor portraying Agent 47 does an exceptionally good job with the role, though it's not enough to save this headache.… Expand

This movie was just bad. Sometimes I like movies that the critics didn't like spectre, parental guidance, cheaper by the dozen 2 etc. but the reviews for this movie completely justify how bad the movie is.

Sometimes I like movies that the critics didn't like spectre, parental guidance, cheaper by the dozen 2 etc. but the reviews for this movie completely justify how bad the movie is. I have never played a hitman game before so i had no idea what to expect when going to this movie. The first couple of action scenes and opening are somewhat engaging but after the first action scene every fight after that seemed the same boring and tiresome than the last. It seemed like the director was like you know i don't really care for this movie much so lets make every action scene after this one really forgettable. Don't even get me started on all the horrible slow motion. Zachary quinto plays a terrible villain. rupart wayatt plays a borderline ok/terrible hitman, the women who plays the girl was basically the movies only saving grace and that is not saying much because she is pretty bad. The movie as a whole seems like another Michel bay action movie with no robots and only one dimensional human characters. So i leave you guys with this this movie is just as bad as the critics are suggesting they are not crazy this action movie is boring, generic and totally forgettable.… 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
