It?s hard not to feel like one has entered a certain dimension of video-game logic while watching Hitman, a lightly enjoyable action-suspense movie indeed based on a popular and bloody game about a mysterious hired gun with a bar-code tattoo on his bald head and a number (47) in lieu of a name. Living like a chaste monk while slipping past borders to kill his targets, 47 (Timothy Olyphant of Deadwood) moves like a determined shark and speaks softly to his contact at the enigmatic "the Organization," which raises cast-off children to become well-paid assassins. Fruitlessly pursued by an Interpol cop (Dougray Scott) who can never get sovereign governments to cooperate, 47 has no trouble slipping in and out of countries to ply his trade. Until, that is, he?s set up to take a fall in Russia by shooting a national leader who is promptly replaced by a lookalike double. Suddenly on the run, 47 has to retrace his steps and formulate a lethal plan for extricating himself from a trap. Caught in the chaos is the lovely Nika (Olga Kurylenko), forced into sex slavery by 47?s new enemies and the one person who seems uniquely qualified to break through 47?s many personal barriers. Directed by France?s Xavier Gens, Hitman features loads of bloody mayhem and unabashed moments of pulp absurdity, such as a scene in which 47 and three other Organization killers agree to fight one another respectfully, then proceed to pulverize each other with swords and fists. As fodder for gamers, however, Hitman is packed with visuals and dramatic moments that seem so odd on the big screen until one realizes they are basically placemarkers for the video-game edition. --Tom Keogh

 Hitman (Unrated Edition)... December 2, 2008
I can't offer any more on the positive reviews that you may have already read. There is action, lots of it! I actually like the storyline where our Hitman 47 (Tim Olyphant) has to figure his way out of the mess he finds himself in. And, though pretty girls in movies don't impress me one bit, Nika (Olga Kurylenko) makes her presence felt in the limited number of scenes she's given (and HOW!!). Are there better stories out there? Yes! More realistic? Yes! Throw your standards to the side, sit back, relax and have fun with this "Unrated" editon of HITMAN.
I rate this movie: 5 Stars!
 good movie November 6, 2008
Plenty of action. Fast pace through the end.
Nude Olga Kurylenko is wild and beautiful, but always not enough.
Hitman November 2, 2008
Hitman is a great movie based on the video games but does not fit the video games. A lot of action and a pretty cool story I definitely recommend it.
 Hitman Blu-Ray November 2, 2008
Hitman (+ Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] This is a tamer version than the original intention but I still enjoyed this movie and his sexy co-star just makes it more enjoyable. This movie looks great on Blu-Ray. Give it a look and decide for yourself.
 Won't work in Europe!!! Region Coded! October 20, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I ordered this BluRay from Germany, but unfortunately it won't work n my BD Player (PS3) because it proteced with a stupid region Code.
Now what sense does it make to protect BluRays that are also available in Europe and partially older releases?
Well, be advised european customers, DO NOT buy this BD unless your player can handle it (there is only very few)...
