Review of Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) by Gonzalo A — 04 Sep 2015
Game to film adaptions will always have a hard time if this is what we get every single time! I really wanted to enjoy this film as the trailer looked good, the action was great, if a little unbelievable in a few scenes, the fight in the train station comes to mind.
A few plot points are ridiculous, but then the plot is wafer thin and character development is non existent, one scene even feels like a tutorial at the start of any game ever made = press A to continue, shoot bad guy here, move controller up and down etc etc.
Its a stupid film but on the plus side Rupert Friend makes for a better Agent 47 then Timothy Olyphant in the first terrible adaption. Zachary Quinto is the quintessential 2 dimensional bad guy, why he singed on for this I'll never know.
Another wasted opportunity to reverse the fortunes of Game to film adaptions.... Avoid.
