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+)

More generic twaddle hits the screen with this oh-so-passe console game adaptation that couldn't be more bland or derivative if it tried. Hit-man is a film mired in clichés from the very beginning, completely happy to be following predictable scenarios without ever delivering anything original in terms of style or content. Thus we get scenes in which our hero, hiding out in a hotel, is attacked by a SWAT team, scenes of snipers assassinating politicians, fights in train carriages, spy-type bits in railway stations, a big set-piece climax and not a great deal else.Timothy Olyphant is about the worst actor I could ever imagine playing a bald, expressionless hit-man. Even the other choice for the role, Vin Diesel, sounds good at this point, but Jason Statham would have been most effective, I think. Olyphant is supposed to be this tough cookie, a real bad ass, but he just feels like a mummy's boy instead. He's neither tough nor appealing to watch in the many action scenes, as worse a leading actor as you can get. He's supported by a decent Dougray Scott as a sympathetic Interpol agent hot on his tail, a goth-looking Olga Kurylenko as a sort-of love interest who goes naked (she was much better in QUANTUM OF SOLACE and looks unrecognisable here, complete with awful face tattoo), and Robert Knepper, a slimy Russian cop who stars in the most unintentionally funny scene (an off-kilter homage to the SAW films in which he's tortured with some kind of trap in a bathtub – it's hilarious, it really is).The action scenes are very poorly shot with silly martial arts stuff thrown in (the bit in which the assassins fight with knives is ludicrous). The suspense scenes scream Bourne, especially with the rip-off music playing all the while and the shaky-cam stuff thrown in for good measure. I was close to holding my head in my hands for this one, as it really is that bad. A disjointed mess and a slick, soulless Hollywood thriller to boot.

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.
