Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Nov 26, 2007
Pros: Entertaining action movie
Cons: Plot could have been stronger and acting could have been better.
Summary: I have seen several action movies over the years. I have even liked some that had very thin plots. I thought that Hitman< b>< i> could be a decent action movie, but I wasn't really looking forward to seeing it. The opportunity to see the movie ... read more

Pros: Decent action sequences, excellent soundtrack
Cons: ...that I've seen before about a hundred times.
Summary: First of all, I must ask the question: If you are a highly trained, nearly-invincible assassin wanted in dozens of different countries around the world – how could you possibly outrun the authorities if you are 6 feet tall, White and ... read more

Pros: the hand-to-hand combat scenes are tolerable
Cons: everything else, most depressingly a wasted Timothy Olyphant
Summary: I don't have a problem with video game movies, so long as I can understand them. There's nothing worse than trying to watch a movie based on a game that caters only to the people who have actually played it. I get the fact that the filmmakers want them ... read more

Pros: Timothy Olyphant actually manages to turn a cardboard character into more interesting cardboard.
Cons: Dougray Scott. VERY silly plot.
Summary: HITMAN was better than I expected. It’s still not a good movie, but it wasn’t quite the dreck-fest I feared. While still a piece of nonsense, I actually grew to like Timothy Olyphant’s performance enough to forgive many ... read more

Pros: Read review
Cons: Read review
Summary: The trailers were enticing enough; bald man clips untold number of baddies with big silver guns. What else could a testosterone laden American male need on a Sunday night in between broadcast and cable seasons? As it turns out, not ... read more

Pros: Good acting and really good artwork
Cons: High body count and blood scenes
Summary: Maybe it is strange thinking, though if you were an invisible hit man the last thing I would do after killing one hundred people in six different continents would be to tattoo myself with a computerised bar code, with data running to and ... read more

Pros: Lots of violence ...
Cons: ... not enough sex, or plot, or logic.
Summary: HITMAN is a movie based on a videogame. When I say "based on", I mean that the videogame has more substance than the movie. Like the MORTAL KOMBAT movies, this cinematic version of a videogame gives us a chance to see a lot of stabbing, shooting, ... read more

Pros: Action, Action, and More Action.
Cons: Action is about all its got.
Summary: Hitman (2008) Directed by Xavier Gens For three years Inspector Mike Whittier (Dougray Scott) has been pursuing a mysterious hitman. The only thing that links his hits is they are each flawless. In Nigeria, a despotic warlord is executed by ... read more

Pros: Tons of action.
Cons: None
Summary: HITMAN releases this week to DVD, transferring the top rated electronic game from the big screen and back to the small screen. The game revolves around a genetically engineered killer for hire and the film doesn’t stray from that successful formula. ... read more

Pros: Hitman stabbing Nika with a tranquilizer when she tries to seduce him
Cons: Everything else.
Summary: Hitman is every reason why video game movies are not a thriving trend among Hollywood. To add to injury is the fact that Hitman has all the potential to make a decent movie. It just wasn’t. Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) is a trained hitman for “The ... read more

Pros: Very little, looks slick, the actors are filmed in flattering light.
Cons: Extremely violent, no dialog, poor plot line, bad acting
Summary: Sometimes a decent movie is all about the slick look, lots of guns play, fast car chases, the great music, the great looking actors/actresses, some ironic dialog. Well sometimes there is is not exactly the dialog, but most of the other elements can ... read more

Pros: Dougray Scott, Olga Kirilyenko
Cons: Everything else
Summary: This is my 250th review. My loyal readers will therefore realize that I am not going to Israel after all. I suppose I could write a "Member Message to the Epinions Community" about why I'm not going, but how many different ways are there to say I'm ... read more

Pros: Very few scenes that capture the style of THE Hitman.
Cons: This space doesn't hold that amount.
Summary: The Hitman franchise is easily one of my favorite videogame series ever. It completely stands apart from the Splinter Cell series to the point where I think Hitman greatly overcomes the other competition. When I saw previews of the Hitman movie, I knew I ... read more

Dec 1, 2007
Pros: Action, humor, great plot
Cons: None
Summary: “Hitman” was a very entertaining movie with actions and romantic tension. It is like a James Bond film without the James Bond charisma trademark, at least the old James Bond movie any how. I would say that “Hitman” is comparable to the most recent ... read more
