t’s hard not to feel like one has
entered a certain dimension of video-game logic while watching
Hitman, a lightly enjoyable action-suspense movie indeed
based on a popular and bloody game about a mysterious hired gun
with a bar-code tattoo on his bald head and a number (47) in
lieu of a name. Living like a chaste monk while slipping past
borders to kill his targets, 47 (Timothy Olyphant of Deadwood)
moves like a determined shark and speaks softly to his contact
at the enigmatic "the Organization," which raises cast-off
children to become well-paid assassins. |
