As Hamlet said to his mother, "How can you go from this to THIS?" I have to ask that about the Hit-man movies.
The first had a great cast and actors with charisma. This one has a competent cast but no one stands out. The first had a very sexy female lead. She had a personality. This movie has a female lead whose only emotion seems to be annoyance. The villain in the last movie was interesting. His plot was diabolical and believable. This movie has Zachory Quinto as the henchman and a very forgettable boss.
The action was fine... a little jumpy during the hand to hand sequences, which implies the director didn't feel capable of directing a fist fight.
All in all, worrisome in that it might kill the franchise before another decent Hit-man movie can be made.
