Action. Thriller 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.

	Author	Review
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Hitman: Agent 47 is aggressively awful, the kind of film that rubs its lackadaisical screenwriting, dull filmmaking and boring characters in your face, almost daring you to ask the theater operator for your money back."	NEG
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"This vaguely science-fiction action picture based on a video game (and not a sequel to 2007’s Hitman) is an idiotic mess with a bafflingly dense prologue, an endless final battle, lifeless performances and anticlimactic twists, but it does have a degree of visual flair (...) Rating: ★★ (over 5)"	NEG
United States	Inkoo Kang The Wrap	"For all its cheap talk about the importance of innovation, Agent 47 just feels like a copy of a copy of a copy."	NEG
United States	Kyle Anderson Entertainment Weekly	"In this post-"Mad Max: Fury Road" action movie age, “occasionally bonkers” just doesn’t cut it anymore (...) The movie is profoundly dumb."	NEG
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"After a while, you give up trying to make sense of the plot and sit there gaping at the car crashes, fight scenes, and shootings. The problem is that even the mayhem quickly becomes repetitive."	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Insofar as Hitman: Agent 47 is about anything, really, it’s about the pleasures of being on location — from the gratuitous image of Ware taking a dip in a five-star-hotel swimming pool to the sight of Singapore’s staggering Gardens by the Bay."	NEG
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Consistently off by a beat, Hitman: Agent 47 fails to ever click into gear."	NEG
United States	Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle	"Hitman: Agent 47 is a film that bears nothing but a passing resemblance to the game that spawned it, but that shouldn’t surprise anyone, as it’s all just a cash grab, anyway. No choice but to wash, rinse, repeat: cha-ching."	NEG
