HITMAN Film Review - 20/1/08

An adaption of the game to screen that looked like it would hold it's own then apart from a couple of good action sequences strung together really doesn't make sense. A dull story that felt like it had gaps of film cut from it somewhere in the editing as it skips from one scenario to another in a nonsensical fashion. Hitman 47 does a job and get's set-up by his own group and everyone else from the look of it and he goes on the vengeance trail leaving a handful of bodies in his wake. Inconsistencies aside he flits from one part of the world to the next with no problem at all and has supposedly set all this up himself from the start and just needs to tie up all the numerous loose ends. A slow, plodding action movie with too much talk and not enough action; and so convoluted it's hard to tell who is doing what or why they are doing it? Aim for the toilet and hit FLUSH!
