Hitman: Agent 47


Hitman: Agent 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.

This movie is a prime example of why movie theaters should be avoided at all costs the last couple weeks of August.  This is the time of year where studios release their crappiest movies trying to bank on people just looking to catch whatever is new at the local Cineplex.  I figured that you pretty much have seen this movie just by seeing the trailer and I was right.  It's basically a marketing ploy for a video game franchise.  At least the first attempt bothered trying to use a name actor in the lead.  This one felt more like a made for Cinemax action movie.

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's late August garbage and not worth the time.  Certainly not the money either.
