I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I came to this film by accident, a present from a friend who knew I really enjoyed "Hitman (with Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko). I was initially disappointed, having hoped it was that original, but having watched it last night I found it worthwhile (while not coming close to the original).
The premise is interesting - once you can get your head round a rival with titanium injected under the skin that makes him bulletproof! It's a step further than Bond, which is sufficiently realistic to make it credible, for the most part - but for people who accept the Marvel universe it's an easy step.
The film follows through on the action precept, but what I found most interesting is the gradual awakening of the heroine to her full potential and the influence she has on her machine-like 'partner', based on the premise that we are what we choose to live by. It is a promise of potential redemption for a great many people who feel trapped into a future they want to escape.
The ending was a little weird, since 47 took a bullet for 90, yet seemed to suffer no ill effects, and then the two of them were confronted by a look-alike Agent 48, ordered up by controller Diana because 47 didn't take out 90 as well as the prime target. Assuming they survived, the pieces are all in place for a very good sequel, as 47 and 90 would presumably never feel safe as long as the other agents are still around and following Diana's orders.
And if they didn't survive, then presumably the other agents will continue operating for Diana (or her boss?) in a world akin to the videogame series (which I have not seen, I confess).

HelloThis is my first review and i have no idea how it will be.Re-watching the movie again,both actually,got me thinking that in the first part,Agent 47 was so bad a** and tough looking guy compared to the new one. That is actually why i gave 10 stars to the first and only 4 to the sequel.Now can someone tell/explain me why they changed the actor of Agent 47 ?Thanks Cheers

I was honestly shocked at the score on here, so much so I made an account. I've played the game, I watched Timothy Olyphants version... yet this film I loved! Yes okay Agent 47 wasn't as stealthy as portrayed in the games but in the games, you're in control and apart of the action, which makes it riveting, to sit and watch that as a film would be rather boring to say the least. From what I've read of other reviews this seems to be the main reason for the low score, which I thought unfair. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, jam packed with action, (action that's fast paced but shown in such a clever way you can see it all played out if that makes sense) the actors were I thought spot on, I hadn't heard of Rupert Friend before which put me off watching it a little but I will most definitely be watching out for him in the future. Apart from the not so clean shaven head I thought he nailed it.

Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) is a genetically engineered assassin created by Doctor Petr Litvenko (Ciarán Hinds). Katia van Dees (Hannah Ware) is stressed by her super awareness. She is looking for her father and is approached by John Smith (Zachary Quinto) who offers to protect her. Agent 47 is coming after her but not necessarily for the expected.The twist is cool but nothing else is. The play on name is a fun little reveal. The characters are charisma-free. Agent 47 has never seems to be lead character material. Katia could be the lead but Hannah Ware doesn't have it. She is absolutely stunning but there is a lack of power. The action is mostly chaos with a few cool moments. This is not a compelling movie.
