While Dougray Scott often pulls a cigarette out, he never actually manages to light one.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Like many other movies portraying Interpol agents many mistakes are made concerning how Interpol works and operates. For example Interpol officers do not directly conduct inquiries in member countries and Interpol’s constitution forbids its involvement in several types of crimes, such as political ones.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Mike Whittier: Fuck!
Agent 47: It's not there. It's in the kitchen, where you left it.
Mike Whittier: How'd you get in?
Agent 47: You have a nice family. They're fine. Alive. Asleep.

One of the worst movies ever seen

A truly unique example how it is possible to create a complete crap from having a great story. Every single scene in this movie has nothing to do with reality, from "Russia" filmed somewhere in Bulgaria to clothing and equipment of soldiers and officers. Director and editor work is terrible, but the guy who wrote the script should be probably executed several times. The behavior of main characters and the story itself is simply unbelievably unrealistic. Lord of the Rings movie is a serious documentary compared to Hit-man. ALL combat scenes are a terrible mix of action shots previously seen a hundred of times somewhere else. Not a single piece of unique atmosphere Hit-man game series used to have. And finally, if you guys call this acting, then I am William Shakespeare.

I am an avid fan of Hit-man game series and I have a great advice for people who played the game: never, never, never watch this crap or you will be very disappointed.

And if you like this movie then probably this is first movie you ever seen.
