Love the Movie & received it in good condition described by seller.Blue ray is the way to go for the HD experience.
Will buy from this seller again

Man this movie was excellent. I believe I have great taste in movies and also work at blockbuster. This movie was right on with the game series and would have even done good without being based on a video game. I have heard no complaints from any customers returning it. Only good things.

Good plot, great acting, and awesome features on the blue ray dvd. The weapons are sweet and the out-takes are pretty funny. All in all, very good buy.

Hitman was an enjoyable movie with references throughout towards to the video game series on which it is based on. They picked a good one (Timothy Olyphant-Scream 2, Live Free or Die Hard) to play the title character and he does so with style but also a fierceness as well. He dispatches any and all that come his way or end up and his already dead marks. From hand to hand combat, guns, sword fights with others like him from the Organization that trained, fed, clothed and made them into the powerful yet deadly freelance agents they are.

It is touched on his background with the organization but hope it might be expanded on in a future movie. Entertaining, action packed and loaded with violence add a little bit of storyline and you have a fun and far more entertaining movie than i thought it could be. Usually i'm not too hyped over video games made into movies, but Hitman isn't like that at all.

Based on the video game franchise of the same title, “Hitman” exploits every action-flick cliché imaginable and still manages to be dull. It’s bang, boom, blah — action movies for bored dummies.

A strangely, at times ridiculously, miscast Timothy Olyphant stars as the titular contract killer, who has been raised by some monastic-looking male order to travel the world in bloody business class, from Africa to Europe to Russia with hate. He’s a globe-trotting unholy man, a messianic messenger of murder. He’s also bald, has a bar code tattooed on the back of his head and is known only as 47. Women leave him cold (if vaguely rattled), which probably comes as a relief to the movie’s presumptive adolescent male target audience.

There’s a hodgepodge story from the screenwriter Skip Woods, though its details are sufficiently uninteresting to the director, Xavier Gens, as to make them uninteresting to anyone watching (or reading about) this mess. In “Hitman,” Mr. Gens, whose feature debut, “Frontière(s),” earned legitimacy by playing at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival, lavishes his attention on blowing stuff up, including dozens upon dozens of people. Life is always cheap in the exploitation racket, but it’s still tiresome watching one after another anonymous extra get a sizable hole blown through his body, to watch movie blood spray like water amid chunks of fake body bits, especially when there’s no story to speak of, no decent acting, no wit, no point.



Well, there is a point, which is to reel an audience in with an entertaining spectacle of death. In this regard, Mr. Gens fails, despite owing a visual and thematic debt to Luc Besson, whose company helped produce this junk. There’s loads of noisy violence and R-rated gore in “Hitman,” along with the regulation female nudity (via Olga Kurylenko), but these flashy parts never cohere or gather momentum.

Rather, Mr. Olyphant’s robotic assassin moves through corridors in effective mimicry of a familiar video game visual strategy, pausing every so often to peer through a gun scope, stare at the pulsing lights on his laptop or brutally dispatch one more generic human obstacle. On occasion, the story shifts to Dougray Scott, whose indifferent turn as an Interpol agent chasing after 47 nicely mirrored my own reaction to the on-screen din

OVERALL
7/10

I LOVE THE SERIES OF THE VISEO GAME AS PER MY REVIEW AND I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE FOR ALL THE HITMAN FANS..IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME THAN I SAY RENT THIS OR RENT THE GAME!

If you like non-stop action, with explosions and hot women, this is the movie for you! Blu ray picture makes it even better!!!

Very nice movie. I watched twice already - full of action, exciting, suspense, good picture quality in high definition format and millions of excellent special features. I highly recommend this movie to everybody. It's just like the PS video game in real life movie version. Enjoy!!!

I am a gamer and when this movie came out I had to see it. The movie is great and the blu-ray edition is sweet! You don't have to have played the games to like this movie. It is a must have in your movie collection.

Very good movie on Blu-Ray. Lots of action.The plot is very interesting.Don't let it turn you away because its a video game remake.

If you enjoy the "Bourne" series of movies, you will enjoy this. Highly recommended!!!! It is a must buy.

Another movie based on a popular video game. Hmmmm...wellll, it's probably gonna be dull and teditious like the others. Ohh waait a minute, this is a pretty good movie! Timothy Olyphant from HBO's Deadwood is Agent 47, a hitman who gets his assignment from a unseen organization provided by a voice named Diana. 47 is pursed by an Interpol agent (Dougray Scott) and also unlike the video game 47 doesnt change into disguises ususally taken from the person he did or not kill.

The Blu-Ray version was cooooool; it had a lot more extras than the original DVD. This was a great movie based on a video game with T. Olyphant delivering the goods on Agent 47. Hope the sequel is just as good!

If you like the close combat slash mission impossible type movies this is it.

Great action movie, highly recomended. Get the uncut version....plenty of shooting, fighting and mild nudity. What more could you want!!

I THINK THIS IS A GOOD SHOOT THEM UP MOVIE.A LOT OF ACTION.I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WENT ON IS A LITTLE FAR OUT THERE BUT THATS HOLLYWOOD.

Good movie, special effects are pretty good, not too many. Not something that is a must have for the blu-ray collection but still a good flick to own. Deffinitly would have liked to have seen Jason Statham as Agent 47, but I dont cast movies I just buy them!

THIS MOVIE HAD THE RIGHT ACTION AND THE RIGHT CAST TO STAR IN THIS MOVIE. I RENTED THIS MOVIE 4 WEEKS AFTER THE RELEASE DATE TO CHECK IT OUT. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT WHEN I WATCHED IT THAT THIS MOVIE IS OFF THE HOOK AND MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION INCLUDING MINE. THIS MOVIE IS MADE FOR THE BLU-RAY EXPERIENCE ONLY. GO BLU-RAY.

This came fast it was like i woke up a few days later and I had it in my mail box Blu-Ray owners stop hear but dont stop shoping.

Well,playing the game is one thing,but seeing the movie is another one.This movie is worth a look.If u like the game,you will like the movie.

I was very shocked. Out of all the video game movies, this one was the best. It had a great plot, great action, great special effects and the actors did a superb job. I loved it. A great action movie with lots of fight sequences and realistic special effects.

47 has his own insignia. The symbol appears in Hitman: Codename 47 on the gates of Ort-Meyer's asylum, throughout his laboratory and is formed by Ort-Meyer's pool of blood when 47 kills him at the end of the game. It also appears in Hitman: Contracts on the floor of the cloning lab, this time as though it is the actual floor design, as well as on Ort-Meyer's belt buckle.

The symbol is engraved on the handles of his custom AMT Hardballer pistols. It is also found on 47's equipment such as his laptop, briefcase and cell phone. In Silent Assassin it can be seen on the stained glass windows at the Gontranno sanctuary; however, this is just an easter egg. In the film, 47 wears a pair of silver cufflinks with his insignia enameled in red.

Also, in some of the yellow books laying around in the first level of Blood Money it can be seen in a large black stencil-like pattern. One example is by the door that is picked open with a shotgun nearby.

What a disappointment. :-( Get it used here on eBay if you must. Cheesy effects and a worn-out story line to boot. Definitely not worth the retail price and don’t bother renting it either. GREAT Seller though.

Delivered as promised. Would do business with seller again. Arrived as advertised and played w/o a hitch.

THE ITEM I BOUGHT WAS SHIPPED FAST WITH NO DECECTS AND PLAYED FINE WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN IF NEED BE.COULDNT BE MORE HAPPY WITH HOW THE ITEM WAS BOUGHT AND SHIPPED.

This movie is awesome,the visuals of 1080p bluray are incredible,sound is amazing,the story line is great,a must have
