The action was good, but the casting kept me out of it. Seeing the techie bad guy from Die Hard 4 playing a sadistic killer just didn't work. The story was also lackluster. Add this to my list of video game adaptation disappointments. |

Order a hit on this one! |
|
"Hitman" is not as good as even the average action movie. As contradictory as this may sound, "Hitman" is both action-packed AND boring, as well as plotless AND complicated.
Once I figured out about half-way through that it was a familiar story about the bad guy being set-up, therefore becoming the good guy, I had already lost interest. It could have been decent if it had some style or characterization, but the action sequences are lifeless and I'm afraid Timothy Olyphant, who I normally love, was not right for the lead role.
Four days later, I can barely remember this movie.
"Skin Rating" = 1 (out of 4). A brief shower scene with Timothy, but a clear view of his body is largely obscured by water and steam. Later, he briefly wears a "wife-beater", but never removes it. |

GUN FIGHTS AND DEATH AND CHICKS! |
|
If you like mindless action and hot chicks this movie is for you and it doesn't have anything else to offer. Olyphant's emotionless and almost inhuman character was actually pretty good and reminded me of Kurk Russel in Soldier. I personally love that movie and this one didn't disappoint me. I thought some of the action was a bit lame, mainly when they blaitently sped up the fights to super-human speed, but that could have been from the video game. Having never played the game I don't really think it diminished it's value, but I could be wrong.
I think this would be a great drinking movie. (everytime he shoots someone, drink) |

Meh. |
|
Nothing in this movie really stands out as good or bad for me, it is a serviceable mindless action movie. If you know what to expect going in there is no reason not to enjoy it a little. It would have been nice to see what Gens could have done without the studio interference after his awesomely bloody Frontičre(s), but after the stories that the movie was taken from him and re-cut all my hopes died along with the news. |

disapointing |
|
I thought this movie was missing a lot. I had pretty high hopes for it since I think Olyphant is great. though he had the lead in this movie, I thought he did a better job in the latest die hard. I never really got into the plot, which was basically that hes all badass killer man who's super professional and then he starts risking everything, cutting corners, and tries to get killed, all for some chick he just met? I didn't buy it. |
