Hitman

No idea if it'll be any good, though I'm a dude and enjoy action for action's sake. I'd seen a few commercials on TV, but I didn't realize that the guy playing Agent 47 was Timothy Olyphant. Seth Bullock, of Deadwood.

Might be worth checking out.

This movie was a bit of a mess. The action scenes were lacking something. Action maybe?

And yeah.. We get it.. He's a big bald dude with a barcode on the back of his head. You don't have to keep reminding us.

For the movie to stay true to the game, it needs shitty acting!

Did it have that?

6/10

The connection they tried to make between the hot whore and the hitman was stupid and pointless. I'm glad we got to see the whore naked, like a lot. She didn't have very nice titties, but her nice bod and those beautiful eyes were more than enough. The overall plot was a bit silly and needlessly complex as well. Somehow I don't sense a sequel. You just never know anymore though. I can't believe they made a 3rd Resident Evil after how god awful the 2nd one was.

Anyway, it wasn't bad per say. It just didn't compare to the likes of Casino Royal, MI3, the Bournes, or even Die Hard 4.

So, did anyone else notice that the opening credits footage was almost entirely lifted from Dark Angel? I had a look on IMDB and nothing under 'trivia', wierd.

And yes, Olga is incredibly hot, I don't see your problem w/ her boobs though...

I'm a huge fan of the Hitman series and my friend got me the DVD for my birthday. I enjoyed it for what it was. 7/10.
