The only actor in this movie that I felt actually brought his A-game was probably Rupert Friend... He was good as the character, but it was a boring, boring character.

You'd think a movie based on a video game would have more streamlined action sequences instead of the muddled shootouts here.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 26, 2019

That none of it makes any sense is not a problem, but the failure to raise the temperature despite endless shootouts, punch-ups, car chases et al is a fatal flaw.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2015

Some of the set-pieces -- chases through airports, fights on train tracks, car crashes or helicopters hurtling into skyscrapers -- are very niftily choreographed but you can't help thinking this would be more fun as an interactive game.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 28, 2015

What it lacks is much excitement, or any soul, and it might be the most asexual genre flick ever made.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2015

It's unlikely this latest instalment was made to fulfil any burning need on the part of the audience, more probably it's a result of the lack of imagination in some sectors of the movie industry.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 27, 2015

Resembles a uniquely boring, feature-length Audi commercial, incidentally intent on pinching ideas from the first two Terminators.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 27, 2015

Agent 47 doesn't feel like a character who's got what it takes to be a franchise hero - he, and the film, are lacking in personality.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2015

It resorts to merely copying numerous genre predecessors with embarrassing shamelessness.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 21, 2015

The friction between stateliness and lunacy is more intriguing than, say, the line-toeing mediocrity of a second-rate Marvel movie.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 21, 2015

As such films go, it's efficiently done juvenilia.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 21, 2015

There is literally a shot of a staircase in this film that is more arresting than any of the blood-spurting injuries inflicted along the way.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 20, 2015

Ultimately "Hitman: Agent 47," like the profession it worships, feels purely contractual.

| Aug 20, 2015

About as violent and soulless as its title suggests.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 20, 2015

The various shootouts and chases that take place along the way are busy, noisy, and ultimately just as flat as Friend makes his tone.

| Aug 20, 2015

Who's human and who's not consumes much of the running time of rote actioner Hitman: Agent 47, which vainly attempts to revive a forgotten video-game spinoff starring Timothy Olyphant.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 20, 2015

Dumb as dirt and just as generic, "Hitman: Agent 47" trades brains for bullets and characters for windup toys.

| Aug 20, 2015

If you strip away all the gunplay, Hitman: Agent 47 would be about 10 minutes long.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 20, 2015

Bach handles the project with a competent precision. The film doesn't rise above the genre and the plot is muddled, but he pulls off the basic elements with a distinctly chilly European style.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 20, 2015

What it lacks in brains, Hitman: Agent 47 attempts to make up for with action, even if not much of it is particularly memorable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2015
