HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47's past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.Written by

The are two main mistakes regarding the car chase scene. First, the cars, the Audi and the Mercedes Benz G-Class, have the steering wheel on the left side.This scene is set in Singapore, and although you're allowed to drive a left hand drive car there, the more common use would be to use right hand drive cars. Second, the license plate of Agent 47's Car, the Audi, is totally wrong. The license plate of the car is SGE-1815 G. The second and third letters (GE) are assigned to Light Goods Vehicles, not private vehicles. The right combination for a private vehicle would be S (B to Z) (B to Z) followed by 4 digits and one letter for example: SDN5145G. See more »

Crazy Credits
SPOILER: In a mid-credits scene, the camera zooms over Smith's body, now with white hair, to reveal he's still alive. This is the origin of The Albino villain of the franchise. See more »
I have been a fan of the Hit-man games for a long time, and this movie is absolutely awful.
The actor who played Agent 47 is terrible. The story is awful. The character of Agent 47 was the complete opposite of the character in the games.
In the games, Agent 47 is methodical, stealthy and calculated. In this movie, the character throws all of that out the window and turns the movie into a typical shoot 'em up. So much terribleness. The first Hit-man movie is much better.
This movie is so bad that all comments on the Facebook page are positive, only because all negative comments get quickly deleted. Some people have even had the audacity to say that this movie stays true to the games. Other than the title and Agent 47's suit, nothing. Terrible! Save your money.
