Hitman

The films that have come out based on video games has been hit or miss, they're either right on target or they miss by a long shot. Here we're given an opportunity to see one of the more popular games come to life with a story that has so much prospect your left at the end wondering what the film makers are going to do next. With Timothy Olyphant in the lead role the cool headed persona of the assassin comes across as completely natural and totally believable.
Agent 47 is a hired assassin that has just become involved in a political takeover that to him doesn't feel right, and when he starts to question the operation he becomes targeted by the very people he works for. With location shooting that included Bulgaria, Istanbul, St. Petersburg and London the audience gets a true feeling of having to globe trot in order to solve the mystery wrapped in the enigma which is the basis of the story. With all of the other credits to his name, Olyphant is so dominating on the screen as the Hitman that this will probably be the role that he'll be remembered for in years to come.
This was a great leaping off point for this franchise, and there should be no doubt that there will be further movies to follow, the character development was great and there was not to much revealed about the main character's past which in turn leaves the audience wanting more. It will be interesting to see where this storyline continues, with the actors and production staff that were involved in this film its hard to shoot for the stars when your already there.
