Review: You can probably count the number of good video game movies on one hand...prepare to be forced to use that other hand as well (I had to use both and once you see Olga you'll understand part of the reason).

Hitman succeeds where so many other video game movies fail miserably; it sticks to the premise of the game and is broad enough that Joe-action-film-go’er could see this flick and not even know it’s based on a video game. Very little of this movie screams video game adaptation (thank the gods).

Let’s talk casting for a bit; Timothy Olyphant has gone from creepy characters to creepy badass this year. Not the first name you'd attach to play agent 47 but damn if it don't work. Dougray Scott on the other hand...well...screw it lets just move on to what’s really important...Olga Kurylenko; the newest poster girl for hot Euro Trashy Hotties. She's "the girl you wouldn't bring home to Momma". Congrats to Olga..welcome to "The List" sweetheart.

The action in this lands somewhere between the Bourne films and Die Hard; pretty slick with some badass innovations. Basically boxes of bullets, slashing swords, and big explosions...everything a growing boy needs in a film.

The movies only downside is that it handles like Agent 47. It’s a little cold at points when it should open up to the viewer a little. It's intentional of course and needed to keep the Agent 47 tone they have going. Not a big complaint possibly just a missed chance.

The new cut of the film offers up a bit more in terms of character development, but mostly it adds quite a bit more flow and pace to the story.

Overall: HITMAN is the action you’ll crave this Easter.
