Review of Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) by Demetre R — 23 Aug 2015

"Hitman: Agent 47" is a 20th century fox movie based on a video game series of the same name. In the movie, a government organization and a team of scientists have engineered a mutant-like genome of human beings; one that are bred to be killing machines that kill without remorse or feeling.

Agent 47 aims to protect the daughter of one of the original scientists from being captured, as a rogue organization called The Syndicate wants to procure her father's research to make an army of agents.

While I admit that I could sit through this film, it felt very lackluster in parts, almsot as though the plot dragged. It was far less resonant than it needed to be, and the low-budget special effects do not help the movie's case any further.

There is a semblance of a plot; but just that, it is very ramshackle at best and pieces of a plot rather than a tangible one. The action drives the movie, and I wish there had been more character development and story to put some meat on the bones here.

I can't help but feeling like this is a dull video game adapation to movie with uninspired directing and pedestrian acting. If the movie wasn't so damn boring in parts and uneven it might have been something ---------------------------------------------------------- C.
