Let me start by saying that unfortunately I have never played the Eidos Interactive video game series Hitman, but I must say that the feature film Hitman wasn't half bad contrary to many other video game based films.
Despite that the plot of Hitman is incoherent and the majority of the supporting characters are unappealing and poor, I must say that Hitman is an enjoyable (at home) action movie experience. At least it is filled with decent and immensely violent action scenes, lots of guns, and semi-nude Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) who looks absolutely stunning as a reformed hooker.
I would say that the only thing I did not care for was 47's superior ability to terminate all the other "agents" with no apparent difficulty. Almost as if the "others" were some two-bit punks, rather than proficiently trained assassins from the "Agency". I mean...come on...even Jason Bourne had some considerable difficulty fighting other Blackbriar assassins in the Bourne Ultimatum. But hey...at least the film was better than the latest Bond installment.
* * * (three out of five) -- better than expected. Lots of action, violence, and nudity.

Enjoyed Hitman? Viira recommends: Transporter 2, Live Free of Die Hard and all the Bourne films.
