Haven't written a review for a film in a while and the only reason I am for this is I feel this movie gets a pretty bad wrap for no reason before you ask yes I have played the games both old and new. But as a fan of the Video Game franchise, I have to say yeah it may not be the most faithful adaptation but this film does have lots of moments that show that there was some passion for this character and franchise, from the great casting of Timothy Olyphant (Agent 47) to some pretty great direction from Xavier Gens as this film has some pretty great action sequences that do harken back to the games.
Now is it a flawless film, hell no as the writing leaves something to be desired and you can tell this film has been edited down big time by the studio, but on the other hand it gives you a story that could fit into the video game franchise and I do feel that with less choppy editing and making it a little more stealthy they could've fixed this film to easily be the best Video Game Adaptation.
In my personal opinion, turn your brain off and enjoy this film. Also, I wouldn't mind seeing Timothy Olyphant back as Agent 47 in a TV Series or something as he actually is a very good 47 and he makes this film worth the watch as you can see him in the action sequences genuinely putting his heart and soul into it.
