An army of skinhead assassins in matching suits seems a bit conspicuous for an agency supposedly shrouded in secrecy.

A slick take on sniping, strangling, homicidal body doubles, and a seductive Moscow sex slave in distress, the property of a local baddie, whom the hero invites to tag along from inside his car trunk, don't ask.

...a better film than I was expecting, even if it doesn't do much beyond the ordinary.

47 doesn't even want the girl. What kind of action movie is this? A skippable one, ultimately.

Hitman is the oddest of action movies %u2014 a film all but devoid of action. Not satisfied with simply being another mindless video game adaptation, the film also forgets to be entertaining.

There's a certain primitive simplicity to it, the editing is awkward in spots, and it derives from a game, but I flat-out enjoyed it.

A mechanical series of violent set-pieces decorated with underdressed hotties. It's handsome but astonishingly dull and weirdly sexless, despite the aforementioned underdressed girls and frequent discussion of Nika's undergarments or lack thereof.

Can a video game turn a movie into a hit, man? Maybe. But that doesn't mean that "Hitman" is far removed from its video game origins.

...even the most forgiving action fan will walk away disappointed by this mess.

For what it is --- a fast-paced, violent thriller, based on a video game, of all things --- it's actually entertaining.

For some reason unknown to man or film criticism, Jeanne found this highly entertaining.

...the very premise -- "elusive" killers walking around with shaved heads and barcode tattoos -- is idiotic on its face.
