Movie Reviews
This movie relates to older, plot absent cheeseball action flicks. You will for sure enjoy this at all if you're OK with movies like The Transporter, Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, Commando etc as long as you go into this movie the same way you would those.
What will ruin it is if you go in expecting a deep and complex plot that looked promised by the trailers, like I did. If you do this, trying to pay attention to every little detail of the story then you will be asking yourself a lot of questions that sadly won't get answered.
As for loyalty to the game series, I've only had a little bit of exposure to the Hit-man games but I can say there were some cool little things from the game done in the movie and it was very exciting to see. The actor who played Agent 47 may not look 100% like agent 47 even with the baldness but he nailed the character pretty well, not that it matched with what the writing was trying to do with him, the writing for him didn't feel right either which is one of the big issues with this movie.
So altogether I can't say this is a good movie, but it is not more or less than 'okay' meaning there is some value inside this film that make it worth watching even if it's not that good. That value is that the action scenes and the gore in them are Awesome!
It's not really worth buying, but if it was on one of your subscriptions such as Netflix then I would totally say check it out in the most unoccupied free time. For me personally, it's one of those movies I would like to have on while I'm doing things. But once again, if you want to have a great amount of fun with it, take my advice and watch it with the 'Classic Plot less Cheesy Action Movie' sense in the head in the way of the above mentioned films. Turn your brain off and enjoy!
