Hitman 2007

A "Bourne Identity" style flick starring a genetically altered assassin who is double-crossed by his own organization. This movie is based on a video game but actually stands well on its own as a movie believe it or not. It's not unwatchable as most video game based movies are. The "hitman" himself was different. He was not a hulking super-human but more graceful and quick. The hitman's ineffectiveness with the lead female in the film was also not the norm. There was some good action but a couple of fight scenes that had so many quick cuts/edits that it was difficult to tell what was happening. Overall though this movie was a nice surprise.

A decent game adaptation that is made to look better due to the more recent movie. Neither are enough like the game though.
I rather a movie or show where he has kill missions, like in the game. I originally called it a Bourne wannabe.I take that back after watching it again.
The movie is actually pretty faithful to the game. Especially when 47 poisons a man and he has to throw up. With 47 having the chance to take him out in the bathroom. I actually played a mission like that.
Timothy Olyphant is more solid in the role than I remember as well. They should have just made a sequel to it than that horrible reboot.

Based on the popular video game, Hitman is an action-packed (if not somewhat generic) film that’s entertaining and fun. The story follows an elite assassin who’s been contracted to kill the Russian President, but things go sideways when he discovers that he’s been betrayed by his employer and setup to be killed. Starring Timothy Olyphant, Olga Kurylenko, and Robert Knepper, the film has a good cast. And, the action sequences are exciting and suspenseful. But the plot is formulaic and the characters are standard action film stereotypes. Still, for a shoot ‘em up thriller, Hitman gets the job done.

I really loved this version of Hitman (2007). Olyphant played the character very well (imo).
I also noticed a distinct similarity between Agent 47's fighting style and John Wick (2014). I have a feeling someone tried to emulate what they saw in this movie and improve on it.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

As a video game adaptation, this was very weak - no break from the norm here.

Better watched as a cheap thrills, lazy Sunday afternoon action flick. In this category, it holds its own quite competently.

The score and choreography smack a little of the Bourne films, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

You're not going to find the video game adaptation that broke the mould, nor a revolutionary action film, but if all you want is an easy watch to kill some time then you could do worse.

6.5/10 - Nothing too special but worth a watch. Lots of action and Agent 47's style is really cool but the story isn't too intriguing.

I hadn't seen her since the movies, and the action scenes are still good. Competent actors Robert Knepper, Ulrich Thomsen bad classics.

Love the games but was not so keen on this. I am going to watch the new one that came out last year now hopefully that will be a improvement.
