"Hitman: Agent 47" is based on a video game: essentially a movie about shooting. Brought to the screen by Polish director Aleksander Bach, making his feature debut, the movie is little more than a string of action sequences. And in-between shootings, we get an outline of a plot, but a lot of details are either confusing or nonsensical. It's possible to craft an all-action film that grips audiences. Mad Max: Fury Road is a prime example. This movie is missing a key ingredient - none of the shoot-outs are infused with suspense. In fact, most of the time we don't care. Especially after we understand who the good and bad guys are. "Hitman: Agent 47" is passable diversion for action junkies, but everyone else should pass.
