Hitman (Review)

What I knew going in:
Timothy Olyphant in a action adventure about an assassin. Based on the Video Game of the same name.

Hype:
Meh+ I was watching this again on my new setup while I worked on invoicing. When I saw this in the theater with a buddy of mine we agreed that it was a damn fine action flick. As I like to do, I wanted to watch the film again and see if it was as good the second time around.

Opening Thoughts:
Man every time he fires his gun there's just this massive bass boom. I mean its some serious kick and I'm going to have to turn it down since its 11pm before I get the cops called on me for the I dunno third or fourth time.... Luckily my downstairs neighbor moved out recently so its a lot less likely...

Bottom Line:
Yeah, this is still a damn fine action movie. The plot is decent if predictable, the acting is passable, but what really makes it are the action sequences. Gun fights, Sword Fights, Hand to Hand combat, Point Blank Headshots, Sniper Kills, this movie has all the classics. It reminds me of Equilibrium in the respect that no action is left undone, save the Vehicle Chase. The camera moves around a lot less than in most action movies and its really really nice to SEE the action instead of seeing a seisure victim during an earthquake while on a roller coaster. In any case, if you haven't checked this out yet, and you don't mind some blood and guts, rent it tonight.
