It's hard not to feel like one has entered a certain dimension of video-game logic while watching Hitman, a lightly enjoyable action-suspense movie indeed based on a popular and bloody game about a mysterious hired gun with a bar-code tattoo on his bald head and a number (47) in lieu of a name. Living like a chaste monk while slipping past borders to kill his targets, 47 (Timothy Olyphant of Deadwood) moves like a determined shark and speaks softly to his contact at the enigmatic "the Organization," which raises cast-off children to become well-paid assassins. Fruitlessly pursued by an Interpol cop (Dougray Scott) who can never get sovereign governments to cooperate, 47 has no trouble slipping in and out of countries to ply his trade. Until, that is, he's set up to take a fall in Russia by shooting a national leader who is promptly replaced by a lookalike double. Suddenly on the run, 47 has to retrace his steps and formulate a lethal plan for extricating himself from a trap. Caught in the chaos is the lovely Nika (Olga Kurylenko), forced into sex slavery by 47's new enemies and the one person who seems uniquely qualified to break through 47's many personal barriers. Directed by France's Xavier Gens, Hitman features loads of bloody mayhem and unabashed moments of pulp absurdity, such as a scene in which 47 and three other Organization killers agree to fight one another respectfully, then proceed to pulverize each other with swords and fists. As fodder for gamers, however, Hitman is packed with visuals and dramatic moments that seem so odd on the big screen until one realizes they are basically placemarkers for the video-game edition. --Tom Keogh

 good movie November 6, 2008
Plenty of action. Fast pace through the end.
Nude Olga Kurylenko is wild and beautiful, but always not enough.
 Hitman November 2, 2008
Hitman is a great movie based on the video games but does not fit the video games. A lot of action and a pretty cool story I definitely recommend it.
 Hitman Blu-Ray November 2, 2008
Hitman (+ Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] This is a tamer version than the original intention but I still enjoyed this movie and his sexy co-star just makes it more enjoyable. This movie looks great on Blu-Ray. Give it a look and decide for yourself.
 Won't work in Europe!!! Region Coded! October 20, 2008

I ordered this BluRay from Germany, but unfortunately it won't work n my BD Player (PS3) because it proteced with a stupid region Code.
Now what sense does it make to protect BluRays that are also available in Europe and partially older releases?
Well, be advised european customers, DO NOT buy this BD unless your player can handle it (there is only very few)...
Not even close October 19, 2008

OK I'm a huge fan of the Hitman games and I thought hey it has a great story all the games have great scripts and great action but i was surely disappointed. I have major gripes with this movie not only does Timothy Olyphant not even closely resemble agent 47 but his acting pukes all over a great games serious and who ever wrote the script needs to be punched in the face none of the action would even closely resemble what agent 47 does in any of the games if you want your hitman fix from a source other then the games i strongly suggest the book (Hitman:enemy within) it a great book on its own even if you know nothing of the Hitman series of games it one hell of a read and if you love the games as i do you'll need the book trust me get the book not the movie
