What's worse is that the movie ends in a cloying fashion that leaves it up in the air whether there will be another sequel. As the enigmatic Hitman, you must use stealth and tactical problem solving to enter, execute and exit your assignment with minimum attention and maximum. The dialogue is stilted and formulaic (even accounting for the fact that he's a clone designed to kill), the twists are eye-rollingly predictable, and the jokes are just shy of hitting their mark.įrom the cheesy synth soundtrack to the off-putting chemistry between the robotic agent and his gorgeous charge (is she a potential love interest or more like a sibling in genetic modification?) to the dozens and dozens of death scenes, this is one of those global action movies you expect to see on late-night cable, not on the big screen. Although Friend has been effective in past roles in Pride & Prejudice and The Young Victoria, he (and his razor-sharp cheekbones) can't carry this frighteningly boring and borderline-unwatchable adaptation.
There's limited appeal for non-gamers in this internationally cast action flick that seems like a tribute to the worst of Renny Harlin and Luc Besson's '90s films.
Acclaimed composer Marco Beltrami (FANTASTIC FOUR, WARM BODIES, 3:10 TO YUMA, SCREAM) unleashes a propulsive orchestral action score that perfectly compliments all the non-stop thrills and double-crossing espionage served up by this breathtaking new film based on the worldwide-smash game series. La-La Land Records, 20th Century Fox and Fox Music present the original motion picture score to the all-new feature film action-thriller HITMAN: AGENT 47, starring Rupert Friend and Zachary Qunito, and directed by Aleksander Bach.
