Review of Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) by Junelkean — 29 Jun 2017
Rupert Friend plays a hitman named 47 in the reboot of the video game, no one really asked for to be a movie. 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.
VERDICT: Hitman: Agent 47 does not remove the spell of video game movies, moreover, it continues the curse of it.
