Movie Reviews of Hitman [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Jason Bourne Clone Well... Sort Of
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a good movie for a video game adaptation, it really is not bad like many purists that play the game would make you believe. Timothy Olyphant is a very convincing Agent 47 and the action is really good very Jason Bourne in the ccombat sequences. Not having a name and having flash backs is also Bourneish. The whole "I'm going to get the people that are trying to frame me" is very Bourne Supremacy but even with all the similarities they did a very good job making this film stand alone as far as Agent 47 being Hitman and not Jason Bourne totally. Good film not a five but a very solid 4.25.

Summary of Hitman [Blu-ray]

The best-selling videogame HITMAN roars to life with both barrels blazing in this hardcore action-thriller starring Timothy Olyphant (Live Free or Die Hard). A genetically engineered assassin with killer style and deadly aim known only as "Agent 47" eliminates strategic targets for a top-secret organization. But when he's double-crossed on a mission the hunter becomes the prey as 47 finds himself ensnared in a life-or-death game of international intrigue and violent retribution.System Requirements:Running Time: 94 minutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/CRIME UPC: 024543502999 Manufacturer No: 2250299

It's hard not to feel like one has entered a certain dimension of video-game logic while watching Hitman, a lightly enjoyable action-suspense movie indeed based on a popular and bloody game about a mysterious hired gun with a bar-code tattoo on his bald head and a number (47) in lieu of a name. Living like a chaste monk while slipping past borders to kill his targets, 47 (Timothy Olyphant of Deadwood) moves like a determined shark and speaks softly to his contact at the enigmatic "the Organization," which raises cast-off children to become well-paid assassins. Fruitlessly pursued by an Interpol cop (Dougray Scott) who can never get sovereign governments to cooperate, 47 has no trouble slipping in and out of countries to ply his trade. Until, that is, he's set up to take a fall in Russia by shooting a national leader who is promptly replaced by a lookalike double. Suddenly on the run, 47 has to retrace his steps and formulate a lethal plan for extricating himself from a trap. Caught in the chaos is the lovely Nika (Olga Kurylenko), forced into sex slavery by 47's new enemies and the one person who seems uniquely qualified to break through 47's many personal barriers. Directed by France's Xavier Gens, Hitman features loads of bloody mayhem and unabashed moments of pulp absurdity, such as a scene in which 47 and three other Organization killers agree to fight one another respectfully, then proceed to pulverize each other with swords and fists. As fodder for gamers, however, Hitman is packed with visuals and dramatic moments that seem so odd on the big screen until one realizes they are basically placemarkers for the video-game edition. --Tom Keogh
