Hitman

Actually not bad. Not great, but then great would be asking a lot from a video game translation. The main fault that I have with this film is that on several occasions some of the plot relevant factors of the characters undergo sudden and inexplicable changes, this doesn't really interfere with the flow of the film but does leave a certain 'where the hell did that come from' feeling. There are a few nice leans towards the game origins (such as 47 crashing through a window behind two kids actually playing Hitman), and as an action movie it does satisfy. It's certainly better than that POS 'The Transporter'.

Thankfully at no point does it mention 'genetic engineering' even though the dvd sleeve does, that term is a movie cliche that I would rather see die a quick and still agonizing death.
