Customer Rating:      Summary: The Bald and the Beautiful Comment: I actually had some expectations from this movie, I'm a big fan of the lower budget and simple action flick, and the trailer actually had me very interested. Let me also say that I don't play video games and even though I'm very well read this video-game just isn't popular enough for me to know much about, unlike say earlier adaptations like doom or Mario etc, or the coming Halo.
The movie basically follows the formula take a popular video game, make it into a 100 min script, put in a decent actor, a hot exotic chick, and stuff it full of guns, explosions and a bunch of good one liners. Yet somehow this movie fell bellow my expectations, and I have a feeling the Censor Board had lot to do with, scene after scene of gratuitous violence and nudity fell pray to their hypocritical morality. So much so that even some of the dialogues that i saw in the teasers were butchered.
Despite this fact there is no doubt that the film has its weakness' such as:
1). Lack of a good villain, a staple of older movies nowadays its hard to come across a good one, a powerful hero needs a powerful hero to really shine.
2). No really big scenes.
3). Weak and much rehashed script, almost everything has been seen on film before.
4). Timothy Oliphant? While I agree he does have charisma and did carry of his role quite well there is no doubt in my mind that it could have been much better, he was good in the cool parts, but he just didn't look menacing enough when he had too.
Beside that, Olga looks smoking hot even with the punk look, when she dresses up she crosses over into the amazing territory, too bad the censor board cut of most of her hot scenes, but she was one of the best things about this movie. Some of the one liner are really good, especially good were the conversations between Olga and 47. Other than these things this movie is quite good.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Hitman Comment: A real shoot em up. Not for the squeamish as there are plenty of blood highlights. Action packed and loaded. Not for kids.
Customer Rating:      Summary: movielover Comment: When i herd hitman was going to the movies i could not wate to see it. When i rented it from redbox i watched it as soon as i got home I love it and soon got it off of amazon.com thx for this dvd.
Customer Rating:      Summary: entertaining Comment: Hitman is simple entertainment and this is what it does - it is entertaining. The movie is simple (sometimes questions are raised - how does he never get shot)but do you care?
I have not seen all the extras yet but there are some. The idea of the extra disc so that you can transfer your film seems to have no function to me at all. I should have read the reviews more carefully but to call it a two-disc special edition is tenuous at best
If you want simple entertainment - buy it as a single disc?
Customer Rating:      Summary: hit man not quite Jason Bourne Comment: the plot is ok and the action is fine. Be sure to check out the alternate endings. Because the plot is sort of a Jason Bourne story, the comparison makes this not on the same level of intensity. In the end you just don't care about what happens to him compared to the Bourne stories.
