NO HIT MAN
Having played all of the Hitman games over the years I did have high hopes for this movie. Unfortunatly I was disappointed and more than a little upset that they could make this much of a mess with such a simple concept. The action sequences are dull and unengaging, there is a pointless love subplot and Timothy looks scared to death most of the time, not looking like the cold blooded killer he should be. The fun of the games came from trying to figure out the best way of taking out your target by any means necessary. This isnt the case with the film as it doesnt even give Agent47 anything to really do, and this is a waste of a great character. What could have been a fantastic franchise has stalled at the first hurdle, and I hope they dont make anymore of them. Mind you look at Resident Evil.
