Alien at the Movies

Hitman: Agent 47

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Based on a video game with shades of "Dark Angel", this reboot of a 2007 film flop features a shaved-headed bar-code-tattooed genetically-enhanced assassin (Rupert Friend) in competition with a John Smith (Zachary Quinto) to find a mystery woman Katia (Hannah Ware) who may be the key to resurrecting the super-assassin program. The film showcases stylized shoot 'em up action in slick settings & exotic locales. It's entertaining eye-candy with a few holes in the plot like the bodies left in the wake of this cool calm emotionless killer's path. If you jump out of your seat too soon as credits begin to roll, you may miss an eye opening moment.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "sub-dermal body armor" stars out of 4.
