Agent 47 ROCKED

.. despite the fact that the longest period i have spent playing hit-man the game was 10 minutes , i really did enjoy this movie

I've seen some comments call the movie horrible and disappointing , as i can see the movie was very good , but being short was the only bad thing about it .. IMHO there should have been more to watch maybe another target for him to kill .. still i highly recommend the movie even if you aren't a big fan of the game.

Timothy Olyphant was great in the way he performed agent 47 .. the way he walks , the way he moves or look , he literally rocked .

After all , i wish that the 20th century would think of producing another hit-man as good as this one or maybe better .
