Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

An action-packed slog

Absolutely amazing

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I never thought I'd see 47 smile or be seduced by some thot but here it is. The movie - not exactly in tune with the game as anyone would expect. However watching this AFTER watching the 2015 Hitman movie, I gotta admit...At least Timothy Olyphant looks like 47. He plays him well.The movie is clearly shot in Bulgaria but pretends to be in Russia, which fails to fool anyone considering you can see Bulgarian text on the buildings. And it features several popular actors you know damn well aren't Russian and are just doing lame accents. Why did you need it to pretend to be in Russia even? There's also some massive lip sync issues, I don't know why almost every scene looks dubbed. What's up with that?I assume the reason this has low ratings is because it's not true to the game. I wish it was too. But after watching the garbage 2015 Hitman movie - again - this doesn't look half bad at all. It's just not true enough to the original material, so understandably, people aren't happy. I guess I can say for one - Olyphant is a good Hitman. If only his voice were a little deeper. And he didn't smile or show that much emotion.As usual, the writing is where it goes horribly wrong. In both Hitman movies they just gotta introduce a female love interest or whatever instead of focusing on 47, so the both movies are actually kinda more about the female characters, which is a super generic way to make a safe movie. Introduce a semi-atractive woman, add some lame love interest, completely derail the movie's relation to the game... If you needed a female so bad at least make it Diana, but no, she almost doesn't exist in this movie. Nothing you'd expect does. As with the other Hitman movie - it's just a safe action movie slash love flick, as generic as ever.But again, this movie is slightly more close to the game and 47 looks slightly more like himself than the other one, so it's the lesser of two evils. But no, it's not that great. It's just good. A good action movie. Not a good Hitman movie.Adding lame old scream sound effects 10 year olds used in their Flash cartoons 15 years ago didn't really make it feel any better.

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+)

I will preface this with the fact and apology I have never played the video game. Honestly, I'd never even heard of it before watching this movie. I must also state I like Timothy Olyphant in pretty much anything he tries. :-) I found this DVD at the discount movie store for $1 and thought, "Why not?" I'm soooo happy I purchased it.This movie is exactly as it states: It's about an Unrated Hit-man that acts more machine-like than human who tracks down and eliminates any and all targets without the least amount of emotion. Just cold, bloody murder-for-hire. You will figure out where he came from within the first few minutes of the film so there is very little mystery when the movie starts. What followed, however, was pure, violent entertainment. It was stylish, sexy, brutal, graphic and genuinely enjoyable as a movie experience. I truly believed Agent 47 could live/kill/slaughter without emotion. It was stylistically up in the "Kingsman"/"Lucy" range of movie violence. That is high praise as far as I'm concerned.I'm not giving anything away by saying there is a lot of killing. And the director obviously perfected original, graphic ways of portraying said death. It takes a special someone to create new ways of celluloid bloodiness without going overboard into the Tarantino-enthused "blood explosions" that are both non-realistic and off-putting. "Hitman" had the necessary blood-letting, but refrained from becoming the crazed, unrealistic, explosion of human tissue bloodfests so associated with the Tarantino-like crowd.Timothy Olyphant was perfectly cast. I understood they thought of other actors for the character, but Olyphant really was Agent 47. His expressive eyes and the ability to convey venom and danger by simply standing still was marvelous. Dougray Scott played the tortured, ethical Interpol operative trying to track a ghost with excellent restraint and tenacity -- think Stephen Rea in "V for Vendetta" and always being one step behind a genius of mayhem. You gotta feel for a law enforcer who has to track someone as beautifully violent and elusive as Agent 47.Olga Kurylenko is gorgeous and very sexy as the prostitute/witness. This is NOT a PG-13 movie, hence the "Hitman UNRATED" title. Spoiler alert maybe - this movie has nudity. You can read that in the "Content Advisory" section of this site. Sorry to the folks who are against that part. But if you can handle an unrated movie about an emotionless hit-man killing people with gusto, seeing a beautiful actress in various stages of undress shouldn't be all that shocking.For a movie I hadn't heard anything about and bought for $1, this was one of those excellent surprises I always hope for. After watching literally thousands of movies, it is refreshing to see something with some originality, style, charm and intelligence. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good action movie with a wonderful protagonist acting exactly as a hit-man should - he gets his prey and doesn't apologize about it. Watch this one. I think it is worth your time.

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
