I had low expectations when I went to see Hitman because there is no such thing as an amazing movie that has a computer game as it’s source. All I wanted was to see Agent 47 running around doing cool shit. Which is exactly what I got.

This is not a movie for a typical movie-goer. This is a movie for the fans. It hits all the notes of the original source material. From something as simple as a bouncing coin to something so integral as Agent 47’s walk.

There is a plot. It’s purpose is to lead Agent 47 to his next cool action sequence.

There is a girl. Her purpose is to engage those people who don’t realize how lucky they are to be seeing agent 47 on the big screen.

There is a helicopter gun ship. It blows a hole in the steeple of a church that is the size of a car.

But the movie isn’t all bullets and blood spatter. It contains that which has been mandated since the year 1982. Cheese. There isn’t a whole lot, but any amount, especially that which involves agent 47 is unacceptable.

I am not sad I paid $10 to see this movie. There are many who will be. But they don’t know what it is to be a silent assassin.
