...and I can say with all honesty that is no longer the case!! My husband and I couldn't see ANYONE being able to completely capture the complete emotional distance that embodies Agent 47, especially if one has played the game. We have, extensively, and I have to say that Timothy Olyphant did an impeccable job of capturing the essence of the character, truly. The storyline held our interest throughout the movie and the insertion of certain things familiar from the game were great additions. I think it was a wonderful adaptation as unfortunately, most movies derived from video games fall short. I would certainly love to see more of these in the form of sequels, as there is a plethora of scenarios to choose from! Bravo to the movie-makers on this one, if you like a lot of action and if you are familiar with the character at all, it's definitely a must-see. If you AREN'T familiar with the character, I would still highly recommend it. Cheers and long live Hitman!

This is a movie worth watching in theatre. Most people who have already played the video game will obviously appreciate it much more. It definitely appeals to a younger crowd. Older Critics like always down-play movies like this but guaranteed if your under the age of 30 you'll like this movie.

PLEASE THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION BOARD, WATCH THE MOVIE THEN REVIEW IT.

To the bumbass who obviously needs to read the definition of review again your example was a preview not a review
