Hitman

Rated R

Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott

Based off the video game, Hitman is about just that - a hitman and the man eager to catch him. Being known as the best in the business, 47 accepts a job to take out the Russian President, only plans have been made that it be public instead. Doing his job, 47 learns that it was all a set up and that the hit is on him. Determined to finish the job he started and stop those that are after him, we get this fun action film.

While it has the potential to be so much more, for an action film it was just alright - it had the guns and explosions with a loud industrial soundtrack and witty funny moments (such as him crashing through a window into a hotel room and the 2 teens are unphased by his presence and we see that they're playing the game Hitman on their video game console, or the scene where the girl he's protecting gets drunk and tries to have sex with he, him simply tranquilizes her so he can get back to work).

If you're looking for a fun typical action movie, you wont mind Hitman, but if you're looking for more action with a plot, you'll be disappointed,

Vin Disel is the executive producer too, if that says anything!
