another movie based on a video game, another bad idea. i was actually wondering to myself if there were any video game that i would like to see be made into movie, and i couldn't think of a single one. as for the movie hitman, i am less inclined to see the purpose of making a film based around a video game character who can be best described as a goon. for example, in the video game, the main character, agent 47, hardly speaks and in the case of a storyline, well, there really wasn't one. agent 47 was basically a mercenary who really didn't need a reason to strangle someone with piano wire.so why did they someone decide to make a movie based on a video game whose protagonist is a flat character who virtually has no motive to why he assassinates people except that he is told to do so? and why would a movie studio release a movie that is rated r on thanksgiving weekend? and why doesn't he have hair? doesn't he know that he has a barcode on the back of his head? seriously, he should consider covering that thing. so many questions, to which the answers may not have any logic behind them. at any rate, the movie itself may provide some good action sequences, but nowadays, action sequences and cgi only goes so far. hitman will lack the substance to make this movie any different than other movies in its genre. which in a way is unfortunate, since seeing timothy olyphant in possible sequels in the years to come with a completely shaved head will never stop being funny.
prognosis : 5/10
