Hitman: Agent 47

Hitman: Agent 47 is a 2015 action thriller film based on the Hitman video game series, developed by IO Interactive, and its main character, a mysterious assassin known only as Agent 47. It is a reboot of the 2007 film Hitman, and was directed by Aleksander Bach (in his directorial debut) and written by Skip Woods (who also wrote the 2007 film) and Michael Finch. The film stars Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds, Thomas Kretschmann, and Angelababy. Hitman: Agent 47 premiered in New York City on August 13, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 21. It was panned by critics, even further than the original film, who took issue with the screenplay, visual effects, and lacking faithfulness to the source material, although the action scenes, score and some performances were praised. Nevertheless, the film grossed $82.3 million worldwide against its $35 million budget.
