Hitman (I) (2007)
1/10
Play the game instead

Hitmna is a poor adaption of its masterful game series. Action, stealth, a good story and well forged characters are all present and clear in the game. However when they had announced Hit-man would be making a debut on the big screen i felt a little concerned and worried about its quality that is shown in the games. The main one being, weather it would obtain its 18 certificate and weather its violence would be as great and graphic as it is in the games. I was sadly wrong on both accounts. The violence in the film is so inevitably poor and unfocused on how the game was, and the 18 certificate so many people had hoped for.

As for the films story and characters it remains true that it isn't anything like its game. No emotion or accurate dialogue, no great story. Instead he does one assassination, holds hostage a girl who knows information, then realises that the person he assassinated was a double, he then has to find the real person and kill him and so on.

Poor, poor, poor and a disgrace to its highly acclaimed game series.
