In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I rated this movie so low because of the director. The plot was not bad but there was no thread to fallow. It was not something to sweep along. Nothing what to make you addicted and to make me to continue to watch. All the time have to try a guess what wants to director to imply. I rated this movie so high because of the beauty Olga. She is charming and playing very well. I would like to see her the new beauty in James Bond 007. The movie was filmed in Bulgaria but they took care of everything to look like Russia. The license plates and the signs everywhere were replaced. The native actors spoke Russian or English with accent. Beautiful pictures from exterior as well as interior.

I will preface this with the fact and apology I have never played the video game. Honestly, I'd never even heard of it before watching this movie. I must also state I like Timothy Olyphant in pretty much anything he tries. :-) I found this DVD at the discount movie store for $1 and thought, "Why not?" I'm soooo happy I purchased it.This movie is exactly as it states: It's about an Unrated Hit-man that acts more machine-like than human who tracks down and eliminates any and all targets without the least amount of emotion. Just cold, bloody murder-for-hire. You will figure out where he came from within the first few minutes of the film so there is very little mystery when the movie starts. What followed, however, was pure, violent entertainment. It was stylish, sexy, brutal, graphic and genuinely enjoyable as a movie experience. I truly believed Agent 47 could live/kill/slaughter without emotion. It was stylistically up in the "Kingsman"/"Lucy" range of movie violence. That is high praise as far as I'm concerned.I'm not giving anything away by saying there is a lot of killing. And the director obviously perfected original, graphic ways of portraying said death. It takes a special someone to create new ways of celluloid bloodiness without going overboard into the Tarantino-enthused "blood explosions" that are both non-realistic and off-putting. "Hitman" had the necessary blood-letting, but refrained from becoming the crazed, unrealistic, explosion of human tissue bloodfests so associated with the Tarantino-like crowd.Timothy Olyphant was perfectly cast. I understood they thought of other actors for the character, but Olyphant really was Agent 47. His expressive eyes and the ability to convey venom and danger by simply standing still was marvelous. Dougray Scott played the tortured, ethical Interpol operative trying to track a ghost with excellent restraint and tenacity -- think Stephen Rea in "V for Vendetta" and always being one step behind a genius of mayhem. You gotta feel for a law enforcer who has to track someone as beautifully violent and elusive as Agent 47.Olga Kurylenko is gorgeous and very sexy as the prostitute/witness. This is NOT a PG-13 movie, hence the "Hitman UNRATED" title. Spoiler alert maybe - this movie has nudity. You can read that in the "Content Advisory" section of this site. Sorry to the folks who are against that part. But if you can handle an unrated movie about an emotionless hit-man killing people with gusto, seeing a beautiful actress in various stages of undress shouldn't be all that shocking.For a movie I hadn't heard anything about and bought for $1, this was one of those excellent surprises I always hope for. After watching literally thousands of movies, it is refreshing to see something with some originality, style, charm and intelligence. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good action movie with a wonderful protagonist acting exactly as a hit-man should - he gets his prey and doesn't apologize about it. Watch this one. I think it is worth your time.

To what depths has Western civilization fallen when the sight of hundreds of people being slaughtered by an emotionless genetically engineered killing machine is regarded as entertainment? I see from the reviews here at IMDb that Hit-man is an adaptation of not a book but ... drum roll ... a popular video game! In other words, countless people are entertaining themselves on their devices by attempting to kill icons representing human beings. Basically, they are all lethal drone operators in training. The movie is fast-paced--perfect for the modern sufferer of ADHD--and the crisp cinematography was appreciated. However, those two small virtues could in no way compensate for the many filmic deficiencies of this production, including acting, plot, and story. All of these defects would no doubt be overlooked by viewers whose brains are bathing in SSRIs or "performance-enhancement" drugs and whose concept of success is purely quantitative. I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the people who gave this film a 10, but more is not always better. More corpses are not better than fewer. Unless, of course, you are a genetically engineered or chemically programmed killing machine.

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
