Olyphant was miscast as Hitman. And he was the least threatening bad-guy in blockbuster history. How do we go from Hans Gruber to some twit with a computer?

And really liked it actually. I thought the director over did it on stylized elements. I would have preferred more Bourne-like realism. But I thought the story and set pieces were entertaining. Timothy Olyphant gave a likably quirky performance that complimented the character's fish out of water nature. I loved how awkward he was with women, I think it was supposed to be poking fun at how a lot of gamers are with women.

Not a great film but it certainly didn't bore me. I don't know if I'll get to the theaters to see this one but I'll definitely check it out on Blue Ray...

should never have been a movie. There is no way to translate the planning and methodology that the game has into the passive movie experience.

This is the same director that made the great "Frontier(s)" in his home country before being plucked from France to direct a mega-budget videogame movie. Producers had a big hand in fucking that film up, I would guess.
Why bother licensing the rights to the game

If you produce a film that could have any background? The game character is so different from the character they put on screen it was a waste of their money. Agree that Olyphant can be brilliant but he was so totally miscast. Put Stratham in there and have him say nothing the whole film, just kill people.

Hitman was the worst movie I've ever seen
by maelstrom_ZERO
Jun 24th, 2009
11:12:42 AM

And I'm not even joking. Terrible acting on the part of the male protagonist, plot holes large enough to drive a truck through, and seemingly mindless, gratuitous violence that had no real impact. After watching it, I was disgusted.

I mean, not even a completely nude and sexually sumptuous Olga Kurylenko could save that movie. Which boggles the mind, really--hot naked women makes everything better. If it failed to improve Hitman, then the movie clearly has some terrible, insurmountable flaws.

AICN is depressing me recently. It's not your fault...

by NinjaRap
Jun 24th, 2009
11:26:40 AM
Mostly due to Olyphant's take on the character, surprisingly enough. I never thought he seemed like a logical pick for 47, but he was so damned quirky in the part that he was very entertaining. Kinda like what made him such a good bad guy in Die Hard. Those two movies are probably his strongest showings to date, although I also enjoyed his part in "The Long Kiss Goodnight."

I stick enjoyed it but there's zero doubt that FOX had their way with that film. Check out the original French credits without the Dark Angel scenes and the opening where the guy doesn't get blown up by the explosion. Instead he's taken to hospital where 47 disguised as a doctor puts a syringe in his neck.
I was amazed at how unarousing Olga was in that movie

She's a freakin' knockout but the complete lack of sexual tension present (thanks to her, Olyphant and a moronic script) killed a slam-dunk stiffy. So sad...

Hollywood always getting these foregin directos(BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY THEM SHIT...compared to hiring an american director, whome certain unnions protect)...becasue they bring in cheap, unexperienced "talent' who almost always fuck up the movies.Hollywood, stop being cheap-it's kinda of counter productive.
I liked Oliphant as Sheriff Bullock
by johnnyangel
Jun 24th, 2009
11:46:10 AM
He just seethed with rage. If he played Hitman like that, it would be a lot better. After all, one would have to be pretty fucked up emotionally to just go around murdering people. And Sheriff Bullock was just one step removed from being a cold-blooded murderer himself.
Absurd though it may be...

I thought the train swordfight was actually pretty awesome. The movie itself wasn't all that BAD, just kind of pointless. There was no real plot, and Olyphant simply does not have the quiet badassednessto play the hitman. It just looked like a bald Timothy Olyphant.

His utter lack of emotion. I don't know if Olyphant played it well, or if that's just how he can act, but it was the perfect embodiment of the character and one of the few good things about the movie. Again, this good part is apparently what that imbeciles *disliked* in the movie, as evident even in this talkback.

You can't lump all the French directors in and say they are "unexperienced talent". Did you see Gens' "Frontier(s)". He did a lot with $2.5 million. What bringing in a foreign indie director does (especially if they had a moderate hit in their past) is gives the studio a puppet to be their avatar for all decisions. Gens' visual style is all over "Hitman", but everything that sucked about it - I'd say that has to be a classic case of "too many cooks".
So they do this...

It's a movie based on a fuckin videogame. It didn't aspire to be profound, intelligent or artistic. Hitman is just another harmless action flick for the young male crowd. Who gives a shit if they want to make a sequel? As long as there are perfect tits like Olga's in it again, I'll give it a rent.

Prancing naked Kurylenko was the best part of HITMAN. Forget Olyphant, just give Olga a spinoff with instructions that she has to remain naked for the majority of the film. In one weekend you'd overtake the earnings of the first film.

to be in the Fox Decision Making Meetings - I reckon it would be hilarious. "So, what franchise can we resurrect next?" "How about remaking the first Fantastic Four film? I mean the originals got to be like four years old now." "oooh, and we could make another X-Men movie, only this time it could be just the girls, and we can even have some dance numbers in there, everyone loves dance movies at the moment. We'll call it X-Men Musical: Girls School" "What about remaking Alien? We can show how peaceful they were before some giant robots came along and started fucking with their chi. Call McG" "Terminator franchise? Lets scrap what's gone before and have Terminator 1901, where they send a Terminator back to London 1901 to kill Connors great great great grandfather - and they have to fight it off with the simple weapons they have" "Oh, and we need another Hitman movie, most people will have forgotten the first one by now..."

Sure, you could just waltz in with a big gun and shoot your target in the face but you'd normally end up like swiss cheese or, if you did escape you'd get a shitty score.

The fun was always had by scoping out the level, following, learning routines and then finally executing your chosen plan and watching as everything came together as you stroll away, your target dead and everyone thinking the whole thing was an accident. Very satisfying stuff.

To be honest, I wasn't really surprised to see FOX turn the whole thing into a mindless action flick and I'm sure we're just in for more of the same with the sequel.

From the exotic locations to the conflicted anti-hero to the hot ass chick. And there was a story... You guys suck.

Great game though.

Because the talkbacker before you didn't like it.

I thought this was a site to discuss movies, Not sit around and bitch about them, I mean damn, This shit is ridiculous. I never seen so many negative motherfuckers clustered in one area since I took a monster shit a few weeks back and looked in the toilet. (it was pretty impressive)

I cant wait until the purple Kool-aid is passed around. I wonder how many will take a sip because the person before them did?

HITMAN was one of better adaptions

Am yet to come across a fan of games who didn't like the movie. Unlike horde of fans crying about their childhood being raped.

Made the film look even cheaper, but I enjoyed seeing Geneva Locke, who played the young Jessica Alba, on bluray. Geneva Locke looks arguably better than alba now (definitely less skanky)

Laughing at those who decry Hitman - you knew it was based on a videogame ... and you saw it anyway. Just like you'll see Transformers 2 eventually. Just like you know that if Harry had seen Transformers 2 with Megan Fox by his side at the premiere, he'd be gushing on the "dazzling whirling brilliance of the cgi artistry" or "Michael Bay's virtuosic cinematic vision" and wax rhapsodic on the "sleekly sexy and versatile thespian goddess who calls herself Miss Fox". Self-delusion - its the plague of AICN.

Man, talk about a huge waste of potential -- Wimmer knocked EQUILIBRIUM out of the park (as well as pretty much hand Christian Bale the showreel needed for him to land the BATMAN BEGINS gig), and actually succeeded in making a better MATRIX sequel than the Wachowskis did for about a tenth of the budget. ULTRAVIOLET, on the other hand ... sigh. You pretty much knew about five seconds into the opening credits, when you realized that they ripped off Elfman's SPIDER-MAN theme and the "comic art" concept from SPIDER-MAN 2, that things were gonna be bad. By the time you realized Mila Jovovich killed 133 people and only got a scratch on her arm, not to mention the fact that the whole "hemophage" business was just some dopey excuse to let her run around on walls and act like Aeon Flux®, you began to realize that, sometimes, cheaper is better.

film, and are called sheep, because our opinions differ from yours. As someone stated earlier, Fox took a game concept that was about sleuth and deception and clever kills, and turned it into a standard euro-action movie. If you liked it fine. Don't bitch and complain about those who didn't.

Conflicted anti-hero? I didn't realize Timmy could even convey that.

The movie sucked.

They should have hired him to reprise the character for the movie, since he did the voice, played him in every game, and his appearance is what 47 was based upon.

Idiotic that they didn't cast him.
