REVIEW - On Film: Hitman


When I first saw the movie posters for Hitman, I thought, "That chick looks HOT!" It made me wonder what it was about. The early trailers looked iffy at best. Even some of the screen caps looked pretty crappy. I mean, Timothy Olyphant as an action hero? He looked like a zero! But over time, the more I saw the trailers, the better the movie looked. Funny, the hot check from the poster didn't show up in the trailers. I wondered if she was even in it.

As time went on, the trailers seemed better and the reviews were good, so we decided to go. I'm glad we did. It was a smart action film, along the lines of the Jason Bourne movies. It's a great story. Awesome special effects. Perfect casting. The story draws you in and keeps your interest. Very smart. Timothy Olyphant makes a perfect cold blooded killing machine. He was perfect for this role. Then they spiced it up with the amazingly beautiful Olga Kurylenko who wore very little anytime she was on the screen.

All sorts of action sequences were in this movie, too. The only thing it didn't have was car chases. But anything that can be done on foot with an assortment of weapons was in it.

Let me sum it all up: action, bad-ass good guy, heads exploding, hot chick, smart story = go see this!
