Based on the top-selling, award-winning videogame franchise, the HITMAN is a genetically-engineered, elite assassin known only as Agent 47. His hallmarks are a lethal grace, unwavering precision, and resolute pride in his work. But even 47 couldn't anticipate a "random equation" in his life of exactitude: the unexpected stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a
mysterious Russian woman.
The Hitman (
Timothy Olyphant) is a mysterious and complex man of profound contradictions: He was bred from the world's deadliest criminals, but raised by an exiled brotherhood of the Church. His very existence seems to be a sin, but he wages a quiet war to rid the world of evil. He's brilliant, charismatic and charming -- yet reveals little about himself, has no name, and is known only by the last two digits of a barcode tattooed on the back of his head.
Thoroghly enjoyed the movie and action scenes. Especially the fight in the train car. Also quite funny when he and the lady are having dinner in the restaurant and she asks what colour is the hair of the lady sitting behind you? (see the movie)
Excellent movie. I love the matching set of guns. They really get the job done! Go see it or better still, buy the disk. It's got more features.
Timothy Olyphant does a great job in bring to life this "Get the Job done" with a motive and a reason for killing.
