Editorial Review: Product Description: Based off the popular video game the assassion killer with a barcode on his head. He seeks to find out why russian president nominee was the client for his own hit. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 10/14/2008 Starring: Timothy Olyphant Run time: 93 minutes Rating: R Director: Xavier Gens Amazon.com: It’s hard not to feel like one has entered a certain dimension of video-game logic while watching Hitman, a lightly enjoyable action-suspense movie indeed based on a popular and bloody game about a mysterious hired gun with a bar-code tattoo on his bald head and a number (47) in lieu of a name. Living like a chaste monk while slipping past borders to kill his targets, 47 (Timothy Olyphant of Deadwood) moves like a determined shark and speaks softly to his contact at the enigmatic "the Organization," which raises cast-off children to become well-paid assassins. Fruitlessly pursued by an Interpol cop (Dougray Scott) who can never get sovereign governments to cooperate, 47 has no trouble slipping in and out of countries to ply his trade. Until, that is, he’s set up to take a fall in Russia by shooting a national leader who is promptly replaced by a lookalike double. Suddenly on the run, 47 has to retrace his steps and formulate a lethal plan for extricating himself from a trap. Caught in the chaos is the lovely Nika (Olga Kurylenko), forced into sex slavery by 47’s new enemies and the one person who seems uniquely qualified to break through 47’s many personal barriers. Directed by France’s Xavier Gens, Hitman features loads of bloody mayhem and unabashed moments of pulp absurdity, such as a scene in which 47 and three other Organization killers agree to fight one another respectfully, then proceed to pulverize each other with swords and fists. As fodder for gamers, however, Hitman is packed with visuals and dramatic moments that seem so odd on the big screen until one realizes they are basically placemarkers for the video-game edition. --Tom Keogh Beyond Hitman

![]() Rating: - ExcellentThe flow of the movie was great. Good action thought the movie made me watch straight through. Though it was based off a video game and most movies like that end up being really horrible this on really shines. Rating: - Timothy Olyphant is a great actorWe really enjoyed this movie. Mr. Olyphant is a great actor. We enjoyed the movie "Live Free Die Hard." But this movie was a joy to watch. Rating: - Great Escapist FilmConsidering its origins, the plot and texture of "Hitman" are well-formed and strong. Timothy Olyphant, Olga Kurylenko and Dougray Scott handle their respective roles perfectly, and the pace of the action is excellent. While an action-adventure film, it also examines personal issues of self-examination among the characters. My only question is, why does Amazon not list these actors in the header information for this video? Rating: - Hitman hits the mark!Pure action / adventure escapism, Hitman does a nice job of balancing a credible plot with the inevitable fights and explosions. Tim Olyphant is very good as the stoic hitman if only because he tends to be a bit stiff in his delivery anyway (sorry Tim). Olga Kurylenko steals every scene she's in if only because you can't take your eyes off of her see-through clothing, uh, when she's wearing clothing. Well produced and directed, the action sequences are tight and exciting, the explosions semi-believeable. ...

Most video game to movie adaptations are terrible, neither respecting the source material or providing anything even resembling a watchable movie. Hitman is one of the rare exceptions. The Hitman games allow the player to kill all sorts of people in all sorts of ways, not just blasting them away but poisoning them and much other assorted nastiness. The main character, Agent 47, is an assassin who works for a shadowy organization known ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
