Wonderful character development!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A gun-for-hire known only as Agent 47 hired by a group known only as 'The Organization' is ensnared in a political conspiracy, which finds him pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military as he treks across Russia and Eastern Europe. I don't understand why so many people hate his film i just can't cause Hit-man does feel like a video game movie especially next to the mediocre and 'ok' reboot from 2015 where he turned into freaking Chuck Norris. Plus Timothy Olyphant is an amazing actor and he does fit the part of the cold bloody killer known as Agent 47 plus i liked the fact that even someone like him had some emotions sometimes cause he could Nika so many times and he didn't do it because deep down he cared a lot about her and so did she and i liked that part of the movie it was interesting and pretty sad too if you think about it. Plus there's some amazing fight sequences where he gets to fight other Agents with swords and his fists and he pretty much "destroyed" everyone that they send to kill him. Even the final shot of the film feels like a poster straight out of the game, there's silent kills, fast kills and big explosions, with choppers spreading hell, naked women, a great soundtrack, performances and basically everything that you want to see from a video game film is in here. In fact this, Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia are still my favorite video game movies regardless of what anyone thinks about them. Plus like i said Timothy Olyphant is incredible and fits the part so well. (A+)

By the title i expected to be good,but wow..the script was definitely written by a six grader,the action,the dialogs,the actors,from the main actor to the stunts the movies was incredibly boring.How the h..ll an assassin falls in love with one that should have been his target,i don't know but between this and the next Agent 47 is about to come the actor from the second movie surely plays the role better.I mean you can see it in his face he looks like an assassin,when on the other hand Olyphant looks like his the victim and in no case a killer. Save your self peoples,don't watch,is way to bad,i have given 3 stars,but don't think deserves those

Rating-3/10Hit-man is an action film that really doesn't make much sense, I can't really think of much to say more than the plot is incoherent and really makes no sense by the end. The thing is at the start you feel maybe the plot will be pretty epic and quite an exciting adventure, but It just isn't and it ends feeling overdone and weirdly stupid. I felt it to be a second-rate movie and here below is why so.The acting is the main reason I disliked this movie, they give it a go but it feels like the entire cast is just poor. Timothy Olyphant our nameless assassin who goes by Agent 47 is poor, Olyphant is really awkward in his role and never feels comfortable being who he has to portray. Dougray Scott is also poor as the Interpol agent Mike Whittier and he just feels yet again, awkward and as if he is confused where he is. The thing is the cast aren't made up of bad actors, they just don't work with the characters there given and the script is also to blame.And on to the writing we go, it is probably the second worst if not equal worst thing alongside the acting, stale, lifeless and confusing are just a few words which spring to mind. And on to the acting again, the script makes them feel lifeless too and when the lines are delivered there either hard to follow or just too stupid to follow anyway. I think what it needs is a little more darkness in Agent 47, who seems to change from bad and good every second and never feels chilling enough with all the violence.It has a lot of fighting action, thrills, actually not too many car chases but a lot of guns. It could be said there is too much action here and although it has it's thrills as I say it just feels overdone and almost too violent. It is a bit bloody at times and if it is possible too many people die, I mean he is an assassin yet he kills more people than an army could, seems too OTT as all.On that point if your going to base it on a video game, please don't make it feel like I am playing it myself. Now I say this because video games are usually the most OTT you can get and with things like Hit- man that rings even more true, the action seen here just feels too much like a game and the way in which the technology works and the weapons too just feel straight out another instalment of Hit-man the game.I can't say it didn't keep me interested in all fairness though, I felt like watching it and it keeps you drawn in until the end, even if the plot makes little sense. I think the one main positive is the suspense, I mean even though you know he will be going absolutely insane just to kill one person, the part before he does it is thrilling and fills you with a sense of what's next etc, until he goes in and goes yet again OTT.So yes overall this did make me feel it was a rubbish movie, it isn't awful or terrible but is still a bad instalment of action movie. In conclusion the plot is too confusing, and the thrills and action are not good enough to properly fit in to movie greatness in this area, it isn't even a typical case of it's so bad it's good, just more a case of forget it and move on.

(28%) With its muddled, awkward, messy plot; overblown action, and bog- standard direction making this yet another poor computer game adaptation. And why almost all movies based on video games screw around with the standard plot so much is something only the bean counters at the studios can properly answer as this feels like something made not by a writer/director/producer, but a large group of money men. As far as performance go there's Timothy Olyphant being a bit too baby faced for the role and largely miss-cast as Agent 47 because the real silent assassin does not, and never will have an American accent. Or big damn swords hidden away under his shirt for that matter either. While the script is from the pen of one of the worst writers in Hollywood history, enter Mr Skip Woods (I wish he'd skip off). And yet all told this is still somewhat watchable, all be it still pretty poor action thriller. And compared to most video game movies it isn't among the worst. To sum this up: imagine the Transporter movies if all the fun had been taken out.
