Movie Reviews of Hitman (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Good mindless fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Sometimes it helps to go in with low expectations. My wife and I are huge fans of Timothy Olyphant from Deadwood so we decided to give Hitman a chance even with the bad reviews. While it won't win any awards at this year's "let's praise ourselves" meetings, it's actually a pretty decent watch for a rental. Timothy O is a good actor and pulls off the role well. If you played the Hitman game, you will see a few nods to it in the movie. The plot is decent - it's not terribly tight but it is watchable. His female costar is an attractive Russian chick and you see her nude a few times - that only helps this type of movie.
Even though there were reports of some of the violence being cut, it was still pretty bloody and the unrated edition includes even more fun! It holds up well over multiple viewings, which earns it 4 stars instead of 3.
Movie Review: Underrated
Summary: 4 Stars
I have never played the hitman video games. I hadn't heard of the main star of the film. I had absolutely NO preconceived notions.
Hitman was
I purchased it on a whim as I was seeking an action film to check out... and boy am I glad I did!
Honestly, I was expecting hitman to be cheesy, over-acted, and have a spectacularly craptastic plotline. My low expectations were presumptive and extremely flawed.
The action and the interactions between 47 and the woman were surprising in a GOOD way. I was glad to see that they kept the character of 47 stoic and job-oriented, even when being straddled by a gorgeous woman: not typical if you ask me!
This film is definitely worth checking out: dvd rental at a minimum!
Movie Review: An Awesome Action Film!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
It has been a long time since I watched this movie, so I decided to refresh my memory. It was better than I remembered. I've never played the video game, so I can't compare it. This movie has more action and violence than the Max Payne movie, which is sad. Timothy Olyphant stars as Agent 47, an assassin for hire. For his next assignment, he must kill Russian President Mikhail Belicoff, publicly. When he realizes that he's been set up, he must team up with a woman named Nika Boronina. Agent 47 must deal with a political conspiracy and stop Belicoff's lookalike. If you love action and the video game series, I'm sure you'll love HITMAN!!!Movie Review: Never played the game....but loved the movie. My Mother loved it..nuff said.
Summary: 4 Stars
Good thing i bought the unrated version when it was 10.99. The movie is very good. Great scenery, good action and a beautiful girl. My mom liked the plot and the guy who played agent 47. Who is Timothy Olyphant?...she asked, never heard of him but his performance in this movie was great. We also liked the strange relationship with the Girl. I never played the game, but this is a very good movie. The unrated has more blood, particularly a missing arm and an ear. Enjoy it, it is worth it. Mom wants to know if there will be a sequel. We can only hope....Movie Review: Great Escapist Film
Summary: 4 Stars
Considering its origins, the plot and texture of "Hitman" are well-formed and strong. Timothy Olyphant, Olga Kurylenko and Dougray Scott handle their respective roles perfectly, and the pace of the action is excellent. While an action-adventure film, it also examines personal issues of self-examination among the characters.
My only question is, why does Amazon not list these actors in the header information for this video?
