Hitman: Agent 47
Rated R
Starring Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto
Directed by Aleksander Bach
The Story:
Agent 47 (Friend) is trying to track down Katia (Ware) as she may have the genetic secret to continue the Agent experiment that the government (Quinto) wants to restart to create an army of unstoppable assassins.
A long dormant sequel to the 2007 that I honestly didn't think was that great either.
:)
I've never played the video game that the story is based on, but I'm pretty sure that most assassins/hitmen try to keep a low profile instead of wanting to be the center of attention. That seems to be the main complaint that I see online when checking information on this film.
It starts off interesting enough with a game of cat and mouse between 47 and the government on which entity is trying to get Katia and why.
Then, once all of the ulterior motives of each side are known, it becomes standard action procedure from that point on.
Much like the reboot of the Transporter series, the star has less charisma than the predecessor of the series, but at least Friend gives it his best.
Plus, he's supposed to not have emotions, so I guess he's doing his best. ;)
Utterly forgettable by the time the credits role, this one seems like you'll have a better time playing the game than watching the movie.
Final Grade: C-
