Leave your thoughts about Hitman.
| Beaumont JournalDanny MintonIt might have helped to give the hero a real back story, rather than a jumbled montage opening credit sequence, but overall, this film is pretty much an unfixable mess from the start. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkHitman may represent some progress in the video game adaptation genre, but it's not enough to recommend. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderI haven't played the video game but I'm guessing the movie has chosen, for some reason, to re-create the story scenes that play between levels. The ones that players skip. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHitman stands right on the threshold between video games and art. On the wrong side of the threshold, but still, give it credit. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDespite its title, in every crucial respect the picture shoots nothing but blanks...it's Uwe Boll bad. |
| Kansas City StarDavid FreseHitman is another cynical attempt to make some cash off the gaming crowd, but gamers arenâ(TM)t stupid. This is a film thatâ(TM)s made for someone who finds word balloons in comic books too complicated. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe movie has a split personality, aiming for hard-core action on one hand and escapist fantasy on the other. |
| Más GamersSebastian Zavala KahnBloody and entertaining, Hitman is superior to the average adaptation of a video game, which in itself, is worthy of celebration. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansApparently the film thinks fans of the videogame will empathize with a guy who has zero practice dealing with women. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerThere's a certain primitive simplicity to it, the editing is awkward in spots, and it derives from a game, but I flat-out enjoyed it. |
