Hitman

I got this as part of my LoveFilm subscription. It's a movie made from the video game of the same name.


A surprisingly good pizza movie, Timothy Oliphant, who plays Marshal Raylan Givens in the TV series Justified, is Agent 47, a trained assassin working for The Organisation. Chasing him is an Interpol agent, played by Dougray Scott. Betrayed, he hooks up with an ex-girlfriend of one of his targets, played by Olga Kurylenko, who was the Bond Girl in Quantum of Solace.

The plot is not exactly taxing, and everyone takes the film in their stride, but the fight scenes, especially the one between four assassins in the railway repair shop, is pretty fantastic. The only really obvious flaw in the film is that a bald assassin going around with a barcode tattooed to the back of his head would be a bit conspicuous...
