Excellent but underrated film

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Good story and depiction of the game. Olyphant did a great job playing the bald character!

By the title i expected to be good,but wow..the script was definitely written by a six grader,the action,the dialogs,the actors,from the main actor to the stunts the movies was incredibly boring.How the h..ll an assassin falls in love with one that should have been his target,i don't know but between this and the next Agent 47 is about to come the actor from the second movie surely plays the role better.I mean you can see it in his face he looks like an assassin,when on the other hand Olyphant looks like his the victim and in no case a killer. Save your self peoples,don't watch,is way to bad,i have given 3 stars,but don't think deserves those

(28%) With its muddled, awkward, messy plot; overblown action, and bog- standard direction making this yet another poor computer game adaptation. And why almost all movies based on video games screw around with the standard plot so much is something only the bean counters at the studios can properly answer as this feels like something made not by a writer/director/producer, but a large group of money men. As far as performance go there's Timothy Olyphant being a bit too baby faced for the role and largely miss-cast as Agent 47 because the real silent assassin does not, and never will have an American accent. Or big damn swords hidden away under his shirt for that matter either. While the script is from the pen of one of the worst writers in Hollywood history, enter Mr Skip Woods (I wish he'd skip off). And yet all told this is still somewhat watchable, all be it still pretty poor action thriller. And compared to most video game movies it isn't among the worst. To sum this up: imagine the Transporter movies if all the fun had been taken out.

I remember seeing this when it came out in theaters back in 2007 and not being terribly impressed, and now watching it for a second time seven years later nothing's really changed. Xavier Gens has a cool visual style, but it's wasted on a terrible script by Skip Woods and a less-than-charismatic performance by Timothy Olyphant. The plot, if one can call it that, has Agent 47 (Olyphant) on a mission to take out a Russian politician, but he ends up being double-crossed and goes to take out the people responsible. Along the way, he meets an attractive Russian prostitute (Olga Kurylenko) who might be able to help him. The best thing I can say about the movie is that it's well-shot and has some cool imagery that looks good in slow-motion. The bad is about everything else, although the style does make it a little more palatable. Olyphant was a blank slate as the main character, Agent 47, and his line delivery was borderline abysmal at times. There were some attempts at humor, but mostly his character was bland and his performance lifeless. Olga Kurylenko was also not so great as his would-be love interest/assistant. Her appearance in the film was mostly as a plot device, and her performance wasn't good either. And the villains? Your standard generic Eastern Europeans. Throw in Interpol, and you have the ingredients for what could have been a thrilling, globe-hopping adventure but it just stumbles along from set-piece to set-piece with little logic or reason. What it comes down to is that there is no reason to care about any of the characters on screen or the story. Overall, I'm glad that this came free with a purchase I made for someone else. Otherwise, I would have never spent the money on this turkey. I'll give it credit for having some visual flair, as well as a pretty good score, but the script was DOA. Recommended only for the least demanding of viewers, or if you're a fan of video game adaptations.
