As a long time fan of the Hitman video games series, I felt like a little kid on Christmas when I heard they were making a Hitman Movie. Unfortunately, after the movie I felt like a Jewish kid on Christmas.

The movie was not really made for anyone. As a player of the games, I knew 47's back story and his arsenal of weapons. But in the movie, they didn't explain anything. It just dumped you into the story with no real direction of what's going on. If I took my father to see it, he would be completely lost. He would have no idea what a Silverballer is. They never explained the syringes either. He takes out one guy with a syringe and it kills him, but then the next time he does it, on only knocks the person out.

Another thing that they messed up on was the plot itself. The agency betrayed him about ten minutes into the movie. They could have developed a story over a few movies or have the agency betray him towards the end. It seemed like as soon as the movie started, he was already being shot at. They could have included a few more hits too. Agent 47 only goes after one man in the entire movie.

The cast was selected well. I thought that Jason Stratham should have been 47 for the longest time. But after seeing Timothy Olyphant play the part, he did it extremely well.

The movie's action was intense, but very uncharacteristic of Agent 47. In the games, its all about making the hit, and walking out the front door. But in the movie, 47 just went in the area guns blazing. There was lots of blood and gore, and the fighting was well done, but it didn't suit the character that is 47.

If you're a fan of the games: See it because you love Agent 47
If you have never played the games: Pass

So overall, I would give the movie a 4.7/10. I thought that was a fitting score.
