Someone did a great job choosing the locations - Singapore looks breathtaking. And you see a lot of it. Seriously, it actually makes you think, what are you doing spending you life in some other place? On the other hand, the more I think about the plot, the less I like it. It's not that ridiculous for an action movie - if you can accept the premise of genetically engineered assassins, it actually makes some sense. It's not that confusing - there is an organization that our Hitman and an army of other superkillers work for, and a rival organization trying to build a similar army by tracking down a geneticist, the original creator of the first army, through his daughter Katia (who is searching for her father on her own). Got it? What might be surprising is that the Hitman, who was sent to stop the rival organization, DOES NOT follow instructions and does not kill everyone whom he was ordered to. Some scenes and ideas are ridiculous (Katia disassembling both of Hitman's guns and leaving him and her seemingly defenseless, why? Because she was bored), I just ignored them waiting for something better to appear on the screen. Extra points, however, to the filmmakers for not making the pseudoscience in the movie so prominent that it ruins it (like it did ruin "Lucy" some time ago, for example, or most of the Marvel works - but I might be one of the few who dislike Marvel for it). My actual problem with "Hitman: Agent 47" was that I simply didn't like what Katia was turning into (or turning out to be?) during the course of the movie.

No comment about the movie's similarity to the video games (which, I guess, there isn't any). Great cast (Zachary Quinto!)… Expand

This is the second version, or we could say the reboot after the 2007 film did not receive well. This should have been a franchisee with at least 3-4 films by now. It's very clear that something is not working out for it. As for this film, there are several issues. But fairly did at the box office, which is poor for an action film like this. From the director who had never worked on any project before and the writers with good experiences.

The money was well spent, the production quality was so good, then what is the trouble? Well, my first point out is the casting. Preferably someone top star who can pull the crowd into the cinema halls. Perhaps Jason Statham would have been a better choice, after Paul Walter's death who was suppose to play the lead. I'm not denying, but Rupert Friend was very good in the replace. But my point is there's no star value in this project, especially for the foreign markets, these lead stars are the strangers.

The other drawbacks are, this film rated R, which is utterly pointless. Because there are no kisses, no sexy outfits, or drugs consumption, but only violence and gore which are mostly CGI works. Could you believe what the films are turned out to be nowadays. LOL. Though, I enjoyed the action sequences, so I can't thumb down and it does not enough to me to thumb up as well. Decent story with a speedy narration. Definitely an average film. Never seen Singapore better than in this film before. You could watch it for the time-pass and for the stunts, or in a situation when there are no other options available.

The plot is aThe first half of the film develops a new form of cinematography which can only be described as "hallucinatory". It was achieved thru a combination of non-sense dialogue, shaky camera, blurry lighting and pointless close-ups. The plot is a mess throughout the film but the first half was particularly awful. 47 was even the antagonist in the first half. No one really give a sh*t about some girl with superpower. The audiences are here to see 47 and assassination, not some girl with anxiety problems and some map that the camera never gives a clear view but keeps shaking in front of it.

And we are certainly not here to see excessive BOOMs and BANGs. Sadly enough, this second 47 movie is still more about violence not assassination. Rubert Friend himself looks a lot more like a soldier than an assassin, so that's why he looks pretty good in the soldier outfit in the film. He is too young to be 47, and he is not cold enough. It is good to see some "stealth" element in this movie. The part when 47 "trains" Katia has something new and should be pretty interesting to hardcore fans. But such "stealth" is always followed by more excessive violence. Horrible.

Superpower is certainly not acceptable in 47 series. Bullet-proof skin? This is not a Marvel movie. 47 admitting the opponent is stronger? That is not 47. 47 is always the best, although he is not perfect. That is one of the many beauties of Hitman. We don't need a superman or supervillain because that's just unreal. Katia's "instinct"-like power is not very acceptable either. In Hitman: Absolution, 47's instinct ability was achieved thru hard training, but Katia's power is more like a result of an implantation. After all, it is NEVER CLEARLY EXPLAINED in the entire film.

The background of the Agency and Diana is never explained as well. Non-player audiences won't understand Diana's role in the plot. What's more astonishing is that 47 works against Diana, and Diana shows her face a lot (she may have never shown her face in the game. The one who died in Absolution might not be the real Diana), and...Diana is a Chinese! Are you f**king kidding me? Her voice is clearly using voice over because I know that Chinese actress doesn't speak good English. Why does western films use Chinese actress so often? A violence film like Hitman is gonna be censored by Chinese government anyway. BTW, she was using a stage name in the Cast (Angelababy), b*itchy, uh? And it was the first time that I see a film's cast is sorted in alphabetical order, so this "Angel-a-baby" could be on top. She must have slept with the producer. She is that notorious in China, really.

Lack of continuation with the video game is another weakness of this film. We already have the girl Victoria who is likely to be a sidekick of 47, so why does the film reboot completely and introduce some new genetic scientist and some lady whose power is not so realistic? And eventually the film turned 47 against 48 who is supposed to be dead in the game long time ago. Plus the appearance of Mr. 48 does not even make sense because Katia is Miss. 90 already. Why would the Agency send one agent to fight one similar model and one superior model? Again, the plot is a mess. Please just stick with the game.

There are some elements such as the "stealth" part I mentioned that are inherited the game. Another example is the bathing scene of Katia. It was a non-sense scene but it refers to the bathing Diana in Absolution. These are some sparks that players might find interesting, but for non-players, these are just some non-sense rubbish. The main dilemma for Hitman films so far is the difficulty of balancing traditional action elements and Hitman's stealth element. I think you can never achieve both the staggering visual effect and the "silent kill" philosophy of stealth games. It will take a grandmaster director who is also a Hitman fan to create a new genre of film, the stealth film. As much as I can imagine, it will be a film in a form like Run Lola Run in which 47 carefully plans his moves in his hideout, imagining different infiltration plans (some action elements may be applied here) until he find a way through, not touching the surrounding environment at all. Planning the moves is always the major beauty of Hitman games.… Expand

Skip Woods should be fired from writing screenplays and if you don't know who he is, well lets just say he wrote such films as: X-men: Origins Wolverine, The A-Team (2010), Sabotage, Hitman (2007), and A Good Day to Die Hard.

Hitman: Agent 47 is another attempt to adapted the Hitman game franchise into a movie and the pay-off we got was a piece of **** and I'm not surprised at all. The posters and trailers didn't really convince me that it's going to be anything good and I was right.

Rupert Friend who plays Agent 47 dose a decent job in the movie, even when he's character wasn't that developed enough or even interesting.

The rest of the actors didn't do such a good job, even Zachary Quinto had nothing to do in this movie and I know he's better than this. The action scenes wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be but it's nothing really special. The movie ends begging for a squeal and maybe start a franchise, but that's not going to happen since this movie bombed hard at the box office.

Overall Hitman: Agent 47 isn't a good movie at all, as I believe that this movie will be forgotten in the next two months and so would this review ;) .… Expand

If 47 (Friend) would go stealthy all the way, this movie then would last for 5 and 1/2 hours. I liked this movie better that 2007, because Timothy Olyphant just didn't fit as 47. He fits to be a pedophile child molester better than an assassin, with his freakish face. Only thing I didn't like with Hitman: Agent 47, is that Katia could kick and kill everybody's asses.

Some of the more exuberant action scenes feel pulled from "how to make a cheesy video gameIt's not hard to see that this second attempt at a Hitman movie repeats quite a few of the same mistakes video game movies have made over the years. Some of the more exuberant action scenes feel pulled from "how to make a cheesy video game movie 101." However when taken at face value it can still provide some silly thrills. At the very least it manages to be better than the last Hitman movie.

The action is where the cast majority of the entertainment value comes from. Director Aleksander Bach has crafted quite a few clever ways for Agent 47 to kill people. Of course the whole thing regularly goes off the deep end with it's absurdity, but for the most part it's (intentionally?) goofy fun to watch. The gorier kills are particularly entertaining.

The plot itself isn't bad, but let's be honest who is going to watch this for the plot? It's the type of thing that works well enough to get things going and give a reason/excuse for the action onscreen to take place. So you just kind of go with knowing that if you really paid full attention to it that things would likely fall apart.

The characters themselves aren't bad. Neither are the actors playing them. It's hard to really consider just how good the people onscreen are doing given the material. The exception being Rupert Friend. His (almost) emotionless performance does a great job of selling the character. Quinto is just there to play a stereotypical villain and Hannah Ware, despite being so integral to the plot, is just kind of around to show some PG-13 level skin for the teenage Hitman fans watching, as well as the older male gamers who never really grew up. Nobody else is worth mentioning.

That's kind of the problem, not only with this new Hitman, but also with video game movies as a whole. Most of them are specifically designed to appeal to the players of the game. The problem with that? Apparently the people behind these movies view all gamers as horny 13 year olds who only care about the bang boom anyway. That and these same people don't know the source material well at all.

So "Agent 47" hits quite a few of the pitfalls video game movies have made that gave them such a bad reputation in the first place. Does that mean it's not worth watching? Not necessarily. We are all at the point now where we know what to expect from video game movies. So long as you aren't/weren't expecting this to be the video game movie to change that, then you should be okay. Thankfully, somehow Rupert Friend and some decent, if occasionally overly cheesy action keep it from reaching the levels of suck other video game movies have attained, particularly the first attempt at a Hitman movie. So it has that going for it. It's a video game movie. Take it or leave it.

Despite the movie original from a famous game "Hitman" which uses stealth a lot , the movie just full on mindless blowing stuff action movie and that's like i don't know what's going on anymore

Actually if you change this movie to any others name you will probably don't even know that it's original from a video games since almost 100% of this movie is just another loud dump stupid cliche action movie that delivers nothing new at all.

And for icing on the cake is the characters in this movie , while the bad guy are always stupid dump talking too much miss every single bullet , our main characters the agent himself is just like a god he can basically 1 - 50 easily without any effort and that just make the movie kind a boring since their are no threats to the main characters what so ever.

Overall it's still WATCHABLE it's not completely garbage like someone might say but it's not good or even mediocre either , just to think that Warcraft and Assassin's creed comes next year makes me wonder ,if those two movie failed what will happen next in these movie genre ?… Expand

Please stop ruining video games with these kinds of movies. When you start to wonder why does Hitman get away with a movie sequel that turns out to be bad in front of my face, then the answer is that because they want to get money.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I, alongside many other millenial (or so we hate to be called, apparently) grew up with the Hitman franchise as our gold standard for assassin video games so it makes sense we would judge this movie harshly.

As for many of the pointless add-ons this movie brought to the franchise it was still a decent movie. If you asked me to buy it or recommend it, I would probably say no to buying and yes to watching it a few times every few years. The story is in the decent category. Agent 47 is contracted to find and eliminate a man who other Agents have failed to kill before. Then he meets a neo-Agent who just so happens to be the daughter of the creator of the Agent program. Also, there is a man who seemingly is immortal (getting shot and electrocuted just doesn’t seem to cut it when killing villian’s anymore). Now even though they added her as the pinnacle of the Agent legacy it still isn’t that far-fetched to say it never happened in the story which makes it feasible that it could happen in the movie. This by itself added more to Hitman itself than just doing your run of the mill one man sneaky Rambo. It was unique and stayed true to the story.

The “Hollywood” in this movie was pointlessly (but understandably) added to make this movie more bearable to watch. If we had 47 sneaking everywhere it wouldn’t be fun to watch, now would it? That said, the gunfights in public were too outlandish for me.

The build up to the ending was great by the way. We started off thinking we knew who the target was and then found out it was someone (someone’s) in this case. Good use of misleading us and in my opinion when its done in a way that drops hints but that we can’t tell its coming then its okay in my book.

Overall this movie is a decent one to watch, just don’t let your dogmatic views cloud your view of what makes a movie good and you’ll be able to watch this.… Expand

Underneath the disguise of flashy cinematic and noise effects, Hitman: Agent 47 is sadly, still a misfire of corny script and abysmal plot.

As an action flick, it's certainly brimming with cool choreography as characters partially danceUnderneath the disguise of flashy cinematic and noise effects, Hitman: Agent 47 is sadly, still a misfire of corny script and abysmal plot.

As an action flick, it's certainly brimming with cool choreography as characters partially dance and partially John Woo dive their way through hail of bullet. Unfortunately, the plot is nonsensical and inconsistent. It's understandable that the team wanted to create larger than life plot, but the process needs more delicacy than taking small scenes of the game and throws a bunch of popular gimmicks from Terminator to Minority Report, then hopes it would work or audience would suspend their belief.

Story is the typical enhanced soldier theme. Granted, the video games used same narrative, but then it gets ridiculously over-the-top and even borderline supernatural. It follows Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) as he tries to find the scientist who pioneered the super soldier program by finding his daughter Katia (Hannah Ware).

The movie revolves around finding this scientist and shady organization trying to revive the program. For a stoic character such as 47, the movie pairs him with female lead for more interaction, otherwise it'd be just all business and murder. It doesn't help that Katia is one dimensional and honestly equally stiff, the chemistry between them is hardly engaging.

It's also odd that the multi-million organization and legendary assassins treats Katia as though she holds all the secret. The plot actually hinges entirely on her, and at times she even depicts as having clairvoyance skill. Script uses a lot of flamboyant one-liners, almost as in gibberish cat poster.

With all of these quirky narrative and plot discrepancy, it's really hard to take the movie seriously. Story feels like a pretense to push the pace to next grand set pieces. To its credit, it does have plenty of stylish cinematography. Using all sorts of nifty choreography, dual wielding gunslinger combat in exotic places, it has ample bombastic action.

Note that one of Hitman games actually titled Silent Assassin and it's also the highest rank in game. The cerebral or tactical approach is used sparsely, and those don't even appear natural. In fact, without the suit and Hitman on the title you wouldn't even recognize it as Hitman movie, probably some Universal Soldier spin-off.

It's definitely an explosive spectacle, but sadly also a mindless one. If this is how video game is, still, translated to silver screen, it doesn't convey the game's core story, or any presentable story in general.… Expand

If you even have the slightest bit of self-respect, don't watch this movie (even for free). It's no more than a clumsy Hitman ripoff, waiting to steal your time and money.

Agent 47 is a return to the basic, crap old formula of video game movies. Despite having slick and amazing action sequences, 47 still retains its stupidity.

Despite having slick and amazing action sequences, 47 still retains its stupidity. The storyline is nothing special, in a jiffy, Zachary Quinto at his worst as a cop helping a girl to escape a supercool agent named Agent 47. That line describes the mishmash that was Hitman: Agent 47. It is gleefully violent, terribly long, horribly acted and has a rotten storyline that we have seen before. So, it's a seen-it all assassin movie right? Wrong. This movie gets the basics wrong. The first instalment was a fresher take on the video game. It was bad, but stupid, Friday night fun. See, both of the films bear no resemblance to the games, expect taking the bald action Hitman from them. Everything else is cheesy, rotten plot. Also, no fu**ing stealth! Timothy Oleympiant made a better Hitman than Rupert Friend. He was cool and all, but he had no charm that the previous had. Just a fact. Overall, a brain dead action movie with a few decent action scenes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I entered this movie with low expectation. I love the Hitman games (which this movie is based upon), so I gave it a shot despite of the bad reviews. And I'm surprised how okay this movie was. This movie definitely has it share of pros and cons. The good aspects of this movie is:

+ Rupert Friend is convincing enough to be agent 47.
+ Good action scenes.
+ The locations.
+ John Smith (played by Zachary Quinto) is decent enough as a villain.

The bad aspects however is:

- Katia (played by Hannah Ware) is one of the worst characters I've seen in a movie. Totally pointless. *Spoilers* We discovers later in the movie that she is not human, but a clone/agent programmed with higher senses. I would have liked this if it wasn't because of that Hannah Ware can't act in this movie.
- The story is bad. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but let me say that the ending is not memorable.
- Hitman is a stealth game, but this movie has only 1-3 stealth scenes and the rest is shoot outs with bloody results.
- I haven't got a problem with slow motion, but this movie has too many pointless slow-mo scenes.

I wouldn't recommend this movie. If you want to see it, rent it when it comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray.… Expand

Ok so first of all, if you have never played the games or watched the first Hitman movie, you might enjoy this movie enough to not start crying over how much of a waste of time and money this was (If you are into action movies without anyOk so first of all, if you have never played the games or watched the first Hitman movie, you might enjoy this movie enough to not start crying over how much of a waste of time and money this was (If you are into action movies without any context, a meaningful storyline, interesting characters and sophisticated dialogues).

So if you don't know the Hitman Universe basically you get:
- Dialogues as deep as a saucer.
- Supporting roles as interesting and charismatic as a pebble stone.
- No context or reasons why everything happens.
- Mediocre acting performance.
- Sometimes forcefully inserted emotions as if the writers finished it and then spread "twists" and "feelings" over their work to make you care about the characters (which didn't work out very well).
- Obvious and bad CGI.
So if you can live with those things then you will probably enjoy this movie because the action sequences and the fighting itself is pretty good.
But then if the movie fails at everything but the action, it needs more of it. (Hurts a bit saying that as a Hitman veteran but for fans like me is more further down in this review)
So in the end there could be more of the action instead of useless scenes which did nothing to 'story' development and made just no sense.
If i was to rate this movie without thinking about the Agent 47 i know, i would have had probably given this movie a 4 to 5 out of 10.

So now for the Hitman fans:
I re-watched the first Hitman movie and i really like that movie now thanks to this one.
Because it was at least a bit like the games.
The trademark of Agent 47 is stealth which was barely shown in the movie.
There were a handful of scenes where he would disguise or sneak up on enemies.
But it was not one bit thrilling to watch those scenes because there was no tension at all.
And of course all the points as mentioned above count too, because even the old games had better stories, dialogues and interesting characters than this movie had.
In the end there were still some pretty decent scenes of Agent 47 just not giving a f*** and going on a killing spree which have their right to exist in Hitman since Hitman: Absolution.
Also Rupert Friend did a surprisingly good job portraying Agent 47. (The only character you would care for in this movie)

To conclude:
If you're not a fan of the Hitman games and like action movies without deeper stories - go ahead give this movie a shot, it would be worth lending it from a video rental store.
If you're a fan of the series - believe me you are better off not spending any money for this thing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an action film, Hitman succeeds pretty well. Friend and Ware are very good, Quinto plays a nice villain and action sequences are amazing. We have disguises, smart fights, many guns and explosions and nice car's chasing. On the other hand, for those who are fans of the game, we don't have a movie that respects 100% its source. This adaptation doesn't full honor the game, except for some details on Agent 47 appearance and habilities. It ends giving us space for a sequel and probably new characters arriving but I've got the feeling that we won't get there.… Expand

No explanation for this is given and the movie becomes entirely about her. The decision to make Agent 47 a sidekick in his own movie is nothing short of baffling. From the trailer she's barely shown because they knew a movie that wasn't about Agent 47 would be reviled.

Fans will hate it, Agent 47's actor does a terrible job at emulating 47's coldness, the action is dull and predictable.

My expectations were basically nothing and after 44 minutes I turned it off. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen.

He teams up with Katia (Ware), the daughter of a scientist who has gone missing, but John (Quinto) tries to stop the both of them in the order of his agency.

Although Friend does a good job in conveying life to a very soulless figure, everybody does not care about him, because there is not enough attachment going on with him towards the audience. And that is because of the script - it is written awfully with bad dialogue and cheap one-liners. Moreover, Agent 47 is a boring lead figure because he is one-dimensional and lacks in personality. The fight scenes are also kindly choreographed, but it is not enough to sustain its plot.

Rupert isn’t helped by a plot that suffers from this time it’s personal syndrome (see latest Bond films). Everybody is someone's sister, father, cousin, former chiropractor's receptionist. It is a tired idea that has been beaten to death in action films of late.

So the acting is subpar, the story is filled with tired tropes and it doesn’t do justice to the source material. Thank god it looks so good and the action set pieces that start okay get more spectacular as the movie moves along. If you can get past the someone subpar opening bit that is more Steven Seagal than Terminator the ride improves. That all this movie really is, a forgettable ride among some nice scenery.

Plus some weird plot moments too and the acting wasn't completely convincing (it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either). It was watchable and didn't feel like a small budget movie, but in the same time it didn't have anything great about it that you would recommend it to your friends afterwards. If you don't compare it to Hitman game, then even, I didn't feel like it would have anything that amazing in it and probably after few months I'll forget that it even existed.… Expand

Rupert Friend n'est pas en cause dans ce fiasco et je tiens à dédouaner cet acteur qui a déjà prouvé sa valeur dans la série Homeland.

Son interprétation du célèbre crâne d'oeuf est assez juste ou conforme à l'idée que l'on s'est faite du personnage au fil des nombreux jeux vidéo plus ou moins (in)égaux en qualité depuis nombre d'années. Cela étant, Timothy Olyphant proposait une interprétation également digne d'intérêt dans la précédente adaptation qui fait figure de chef-d'oeuvre intemporel en comparaison de la ridicule bouffonnerie ici présente.

D'abord, l'histoire -déjà discutable- est racontée maladroitement, pour ne pas dire n'importe comment ; le scénario multiplie les improbables scènes d'action et raccourcis, faisant de 47 un "super-héros" en costard à cravate rouge. Le film abuse des images de synthèse et se laisse aller trop souvent, les séquences sombrent dans le burlesque et la réalisation au montage agité, aux effets accélérés a vite raison de notre patience.

47 abuse aussi de l'hyper-communication parce qu'elle est trop "cool" et trop "chébran" : il retrouverait le collier qu'a perdu ton clébard en train de se soulager dans un bus il y a 6 mois au Tadjikistan. Même James Bond est largué : il flingue pas 3 bagnoles avec son smartphone, lui.

Enfin, comme si cela ne suffisait pas à noyer le 47 sous cette avalanche de conneries, la fille est une super-méga-héroïne précognitive et médium. Il n'y a plus qu'à leur mettre des collants et une cape et on est bon. Putain, quel massacre.… Expand

Enfin un film qui prend Hitman comme il est. De l'infiltration (scène compliquée dans un film car contraint le spectateur à attendre). Cependant ici c'est très bien retranscrit.

Cependant ici c'est très bien retranscrit. De très belles scènes d'action, bien que pour l'une d'elles je croyais être devant « Terminator » émoticône heart. L'acteur principal est correct sans plus. Mais un scénario très confus, trop confus. Certains effets spéciaux suspects le film, n’en ai pas moins attrayant.… Expand

Oh John Wick, before John Wick with all the many stylised gun/melee fights. Fun action movie with some cool sci-fi elements for sure.

9/10 * Sehr cooler Film aber da könnten ruhig noch mehr Kämpfe sein. Dann wäre es eine 10!!

Even for a generic action movie, Hitman: Agent 47 is poor, uninspiring and without anything that would warrant recommendation.
