Critics Consensus

Hitman: Agent 47 fails to clear the low bar set by its predecessor, forsaking thrilling action in favor of a sleekly hollow mélange of dull violence and product placement.

The only actor in this movie that I felt actually brought his A-game was probably Rupert Friend... He was good as the character, but it was a boring, boring character.

You'd think a movie based on a video game would have more streamlined action sequences instead of the muddled shootouts here.

2/5

That none of it makes any sense is not a problem, but the failure to raise the temperature despite endless shootouts, punch-ups, car chases et al is a fatal flaw.

1.5/5

As an action B-movie, it's uneven and weird, but ultimately fine. As an adaptation, it's horrendous.

1.5/5

The action definitely has more fire than the story or its characters, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Any audience versed in even a meager sampling of the past decade's action movies will find nothing exceptional about this 2015 reboot.

A little bit more tech than before but still incoherent at times. If you are an admirer of the game, it will be entertaining. Well written and very good cinematography, visually appealing. Inconsistencies and gaps here and there. Rupert Friend does deliver in the Agent character, convincingly. Lots of action, violence, drama, suspense, emotion and intrigue.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 is an unconvincing, entirely derivative, "I've seen it all before", REALLY cheap shot.

Entertaining, high energy, visually appealing and action-filled. Yes, it's not meant for those looking for an Academy Award winning movie, but if you want to enjoy 90 minutes of some decent eye candy violence and a minimal strain on your concentration (easy to follow storyline), this is a good watch.

I've read other reviews and I seriously don't understand all the hate. Hitman original story for a video game that's just repetitive killing isn't half bad. Rupert is the best part of this movie and he brings a very different air to Olyphant did to the character. I wouldn't call this a reboot at all and I think that's where people are expecting too much. The actions scenes are methodical, much like the video game itself. Worth a watch.
