Great movie....especially if you are a fan of the games.
i agree..but as the theatrical cut missed some flow - i'm realy lookin' forword to the DC. I also thought it was a realy nice film, and havein' DCd in my mind, that it can be even much bether, than the TC.
Great cover...but how bad was this?
I thought this movie was OK. Some good action scenes. Maybe the Director's cut will flow better. I might pick this up since I am a fan of movies from video games.
Cool cover art. It's bound to be messed up by the time it launches though.
The 2-disc collector's edition, which can be seen at amazon.com, looks a hell of a lot better. It makes this cover art look like c**p.
As a fan of the game series, i didn't like that movie.
First the choice of the main actor was a bad choice, then originally Agent 47 is a silent assassin, in that movie you see explosion like it was a Die Hard movie.
I was disapointed but i expected it.

Nice Cover. Decent Movie. I Think I will grab the 2 Disk.
For those of you hoping to get a boost from the Unrated cut, notice that according to the news it's just 1 minute longer. Yep, that's it, that's what apparently merits a separate edition nowadays.
So it's not a "director's cut", and it's unlikely it will bring a smoother flow to the movie, just a couple of more explicit shots (no pun intended), I guess...

Why didn't they do this for Live Free Or Die Hard? Damm you Fox...
Missed this in theaters. I like Olyphant, so this will be a definite rent for me. That cover art (and the art on Amazon for the 2-discer) is really stylish.
I've always wanted to play the game series, but never got around to it. I should go pick up the trilogy box set at Best Buy sometime soon here...

I will not be seeing this film since I heard it's c**p. I'm still waiting for you DVDActive to announce "August Rush."
it was OK for a time waster. nice action and it has the next Bond girl.
Shocking.
Not a fan of the game but wanted to see this,missed so I wills urely pick up! I like that movies are starting to be released with a digital copy!!!
For a movie based off of a video game this movie wasn't all that bad.Olga Kurylenko is very beautiful and nude in this film,so it does have that going for it though.Hitman had maybe one or two killer action shots but in the end it was a pretty generic action flick with nothing new to offer.I wouldn't buy it.

I'm buying it. Very good game based movie.
As a fan of movies in general, I was bored to tears.
It was the European version of Shooter with a hardon to be Jean Reno's successor but not enough creativity to deliver on that promise. Its pretty damning that Gen wanted his name taken off the film.
Oh and Olyphant is a horrendous actor. He was a sad sack in Die Hard 4 and he just looks stupid in this.

Cool cover.
Any more details on the second disc of the Blu-ray edition? What is the Digital Copy? Is it a 1080p version of DVD version?

Definitely bad, didn't even think of buying it. But I might rent it in a year or so, I don't mind returning to unrated versions every now and then.
Really enjoyed this, but the script(and no doubt the TRUE director's version)were much better. I also disliked the fact that some great scene (some from the trailer) ended up on the cutting room floor after the FOX re-edit. Still, it'll be the 2-discer for me. Very fun flick.
Loved this movie. So the Blu Ray will have the 2 disc version or the unrated 1 disc version on it?
Yes Timothy Olyphant is too young to had played the title role. But anyways... this looked like a solid VG-to-Film adapatation. Im sure it wont top Silent Hill though
Im a huge fan of the games and I though this movie was absolute s**te!
I'd rather have my family get held hostage.
Liked the film, but it did seem to be ruined in editing. A lot of major problems. I really hope the Director's Cut fixes these problems and makes the movie's pacing and flow better. Hopefully the thing about it only being 1 minute longer is unsubstantiated c**p. We'll see...
