Hitman: C

Based on the hit video game of the same name, Agent "47" has been trained since birth in the art of assassination, as a killer for hire he accepts a mission to assassinate the President-elect of Russia only to discover that after completion of his mission his trusted "Broker" has set him up and alerted the entire Russian government off his existence.

I was leary of Timothy Olyphant (Live free or Die Hard) being cast as Agent "47" (his previous roles have been mediocre at best), but one glimpse of him in that dark suit with blazing red tie and I was sold, he looked every bit the part video gamers are so passionate about, which is good given that the movie has almost no dialogue and centers mostly on the thrill of the chase.
The movie follows the game very well, side tracking on a witness (Olga Kurylenko) "47" saves and subsequently falls for! the relationship between "47" and this witness is dry at best, the movie would have been just as good without the useless dialogue and mind numbing banter of this damaged girl. The highlight of this film as in the game is the assassinations and the exactness to which they are consistently carried out, focusing on every detail of weaponry and high tech gizmo available to this elite Hit man. The live action sequences are exciting to watch but a little difficult at times due to camera work and over-editing, the best way to describe this film is "Born Identity with no words and all action". I enjoyed this movie for what it was, a Popcorn flick.

Rated: "R" for violence, Language and Partial Nudity.
