Review of Hitman (2007) by Buggy B — 11 Jun 2014

This was a surprise hit for me. I went in not expecting much and figured I'd just give it 15 minutes and enjoy a cheesy b-grade action flick but Hitman was actually pretty good. It reminded me of the Transporter III, with hints of the Matrix, and Kurt Russell's character in Soldier.

Following a genetically-engineered, elite assassin known only as Agent 47. He gets hired for a job in Russia and then double crossed which see's him getting pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military.

There are several excellent fight scenes but the one on the subway where he takes on the other assassins is awesome "how about we die with a little dignity" as they drop their guns to have a knife/saber fight.

This was cool looking and fun. I felt very sympathetic for "agent 47's" character especially after (he does the unexpected) and doesn't bone the girl. I also enjoyed the Interpol agent angle.
