Review of Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) by Karen R — 30 Aug 2015
To make this simple, I'm going to split my review up into 2 sections. Those who are going to see this movie who are fans of the Hitman video game franchise, and those who want to go and see this as an action movie.
The Hitman video game franchise: Rating this movie for what it's solely based off, I would give it a 3 out of 5. Why? The movie combines hidden (and sometimes noticeable) references to the franchise; all the way from hiding bodies to disguises. Yes, there is A LOT of action. However, there are elements of stealth involved in the movie. If you love the video game franchise, you might want to go and see this film.
For an action movie: This is by far one of the most fun and enjoyable action movies I have ever seen! The action sequences and stunt work of the movie makes your next 1 hour and 25 minutes exciting and thrilling! Yes, the CGI is quite crap in some areas. This though is glossed over by a relatively decent and solid plot, a group of actors who portray their roles incredibly well and above all, fantastic use of the cinematography.
Overall: 4/5. Before you start moaning about how it isn't similar to the games, I suggest going and watching it for yourself. I was quite surprised at just how good the film was.
