When Nika and Agent 47 are in the car and she's eating a sandwich, a moment later you see Nika and on the closeup on her face you see a blond hair sticking out of the right side of her mouth (was she eating a hairy sandwich?). The camera changes to Agent 47 and then back to Nika and the hair's gone. See more »
Quotes
Agent 47:
The man you've been chasing is a killer. A Ghost. Rumor has it that he works for a group known only as "The Organization". So secret, no one knows it exists. Takes no sides - yet it has ties to every government. Its sole purpose is the training and conditioning of professional killers. These men are selected at birth - rejects, orphans - all of them - unwanted and disposable. They are made experts in every aspect of combat. And programmed for one purpose... To Kill.

I've played Hit-man and have really been excited to see the movie. At first I was wondering how will they ever pull off the Hit-man movie but after watching it, its one of the few games to movie adaptations that I really liked. Not a perfect adaptation, but the best so far compared to others out there. Though Jason Statham was my initial bet, Timothy Olyphant did a good job with portraying Agent 47.
Aspects of the game was incorporated in the movie and they didn't overkill with stupid ideas. Action was pretty good and I like the fight scenes. Agent 47 in the movie does live up to his cold killer reputation in spite of a girl being introduced. Its a good thing they keep it nice and cold.
The only thing I noticed is that Timothy looks too pretty cute to be Agent 47. Other than that, its good.
