Movie Reviews of Hitman (+ Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: I loved this Movie .. lots of action ... a video game come to life !
Summary: 5 Stars

I just loved this movie .. maybe because it is etheral ...
The Lighting of the film is phenomenal, the photography and
framing of the scenes is brillant ... and the action is kind of gory and
violent, but sometimes we watch films to escape reality.

I like the 'stone-cold-ness' of the character - #47 who
barely shows glimpses of emotions. But when he does ... it just
hits you.

Nika (the Russian Brunetted played by Olga ?? - the next James
Bond girl), pulls off coming from slutty prostitute owned by the
syndicate (or whatever this movie terms it) ... to simply adorable ..
and she has a great body ... and this movie is quick to show it ..

And it is strange .. James Bond has his weaknesses .. for booze and
women. #47 resists her advances. Even hits her with a knock-out
dart when when climbs aboard him and tries to seduce him.

Olga is headed for big things (as evidenced by the producers
picking her up for the next James Bond Installment).

I'm hoping there is a sequel. Combined sales of this movie totalled
close to 90 million. I'd say there is an interest.

I have a feeling, when this movie hits cable, it's going to be
a silent sleeper smash ... just like some films like "Eddie
and the Cruisers" died at the box office .. and became an instant
cult classic when TBS aired it .. so much that they had a sequel ..
of course .. though it was great and what the fans wanted ...
it disappeared also. Oh well ....

The remarkable thing about this, was that Vin Diesel was slated
to play the lead and opted out. I would have loved to see Vin's
portrayal of this character as obviously, it was written with him
in mind ... but the actor they picked ... a handsome and popular
actor whom they convinced to shave his head for this role .. created
a cold blooded killer with glimpses of a hidden heart.

It is amazing how some people loved this movie .. and some could
care less. I can't wait to go home and watch it again ... and I
rarely watch a movie more than once.

Summary of Hitman (+ Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]

HITMAN - Blu-Ray Movie

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
