Review of Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) by Iamnotlying — 06 Sep 2015

I entered this movie with low expectation. I love the Hitman games (which this movie is based upon), so I gave it a shot despite of the bad reviews. And I'm surprised how okay this movie was. This movie definitely has it share of pros and cons. The good aspects of this movie is:

+ Rupert Friend is convincing enough to be agent 47.

+ Good action scenes.

+ The locations.

+ John Smith (played by Zachary Quinto) is decent enough as a villain.

The bad aspects however is:

- Katia (played by Hannah Ware) is one of the worst characters I've seen in a movie. Totally pointless. *Spoilers* We discovers later in the movie that she is not human, but a clone/agent programmed with higher senses. I would have liked this if it wasn't because of that Hannah Ware can't act in this movie.

- The story is bad. I'm not going to spoil the ending, but let me say that the ending is not memorable.

- Hitman is a stealth game, but this movie has only 1-3 stealth scenes and the rest is shoot outs with bloody results.

- I haven't got a problem with slow motion, but this movie has too many pointless slow-mo scenes.

I wouldn't recommend this movie. If you want to see it, rent it when it comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray.
