Story: HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research ­ and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47's past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe

Likes : I really don't understand the critics these day give this a low rating,  ya the film wasn't a perfect film in some ways but i will say this that this is the best adaptation of the game to film yet.
The film only had slight flaws but this was a very entertaining film with a action thriller, the stunt work is brilliantly done & well choreographed as well as the fight scenes.
The concept is special done well with the deception of thinking that the film is going one way then sudden turn in a different direction from when it starts. The element from the game are pretty well place to give the story a back ground in how the agent were created plus where this film actually did right is the way they've portrayed agent 47 who was played brilliant by Rupert Friend
I feel his performance playing this role as an assassin was spot on so i cant really see what the problem was, special with his co-star Hannah Ware amazing actress done a very convincing performance, along with Zachary Quinto who done a great performance, i think the critics were expect some Oscar winning film yet the actors in this film arnt real Oscar winner but still great actors & actress's.
 The whole of the film revolves around the plot of the movie which focuses about an assassin who teams up with a woman to help her find her father and uncover the mysteries of her ancestry. Together, they aim to take down the leader of Syndicate International, a terrorist group based in Singapore while looking for her father.
This wasn't a perfect film but still worth watching for a good movie night out.

Dislikes : The film dose tend to go from fast moments to slow moments which at times dose feel like the film editing was a little off, but still watch-able. There were moments even i noticed with a little bit of C.G.I moments that looked fake, Aslo i did notice that something that were shown in the trailer weren't in the film itself , but they were forgiveable but noticeable in curtain scenes. other than that this was a bad film.

Overall : Great entertainment , good action scene, great acting.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for concept
