Movie Review: Hitman

I have to confess that the movie trailer of Hitman duped me into going for the movie. The movie is about an assassin (No. 47) whose sole purpose of living is to kill people. No. 47, played by Timothy Olyphant had a childhood in a facility where they were not given names but numbers instead. The kids were all taught to survive by killing and brought up with a coldheart. They all have a barcode tattooed on the back of their clean shaven heads which is clearly visible to everyone, I wonder how then are they not caught and go unnoticed in the public after all the crime they do? The movie takes place in Russia where No. 47 is after a target to be eliminated. After completing his task, he finds himself as the target. Ironically, our protagonist who has the habit of killing anyone who knows about him, spares the life a girl - just to add some sex scenes to the pointless movie. The movie actually leaves lot of questions unanswered. What else do you expect from a movie that is made from a video game. Talk about the new generation getting spoiled after playing these kinda crapy video games. If killing is action for you, then here is a good action movie for you. Clearly, not my cup of tea (I prefer coffee..).
