StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
zainarif99 One of my favorite Every thing is perfect about this movie
Kirpianuscus he is the basic motif to see this movie. as a movie, with performances, solid character, decent purposes of the lead hero and his romanticism in hard situations. Olga Kurylenko is the second motif. for a large public. for the expected classic story between him and her. but the film has the gift to be the perfect choice for the fans of video action games. this is its basic characteristic. simple, convincing, fascinating. who transforms "Hitman" in wise option just for fun. and, maybe, for a fascinating character with virtues of vulnerable super- hero.
niklhoer I really don't understand what you don't like about this movie, because I really enjoyed it. While the story is not revolutionary or something, it is still good and hides the plot as long as possible from you, which keeps you excited about three quarters of the movie. And in the other quarter of the movie, you are still excited, because you wanna know how agent 47 works it out.There are only a few action scenes in this movie, which are all fights, and these are really good.What I liked the most was not knowing what is going to happen next, or what I would do in this situation, but seeing agent 47 exactly knowing what he is doing. But the movie does not tell you what he is about to do, so you have to figure it out yourself, which is very difficult too because agent 47 is a very close-mouthed person and so on and so on.Definitely a recommendation.
willcundallreview 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.
