Hitman (2007) 7/10

Starring : Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko, Robert Knepper
Director : Xavier Gens
Running Time : 89 mins

A genetically engineered hitman known only as Agent 47 (Olyphant) finds himself caught up in a political plot when he is framed for murder by the very agency who employs him. As he goes on the run from the Russian mob and Interpol, Agent 47 finds himself becoming increasingly attracted to a woman named Nika Boronina (Kurylenko), a witness who he was originally hired to kill.

This was better than I thought it wouldbe, what with my instant prejudice against computer game movies that aren't Resident Evil, but thankfully this wasn’t that bad. Obviously similar story lines have all been done before, but this one was still interesting and kept me watching for the short duration. Worth watching for all action buffs.
