After getting into the recent 'Hitman Absolution' game, I thought it was finally time I got around to watching this. One thing video game adaptations should do is be somewhat true to the video games to reward fans. They haven't always done this way back to Super Mario. For anyone who hasn't played the games, the best way to succeed is to use stealth and carefully think about what you are doing. That is the first thing this doesn't do well, preferring shootouts. Timothy Olyphant seems miscast as well, I had trouble buying him as Agent 47 and it wasn't just his bald scalp. The games also feature deep storylines, probably more so than this movie. And then video games aren't art? I tell ya, more effort is put into video games than many films these days.
