Genetically structured from the onset to be the perfect killing machine, an assassin teams up with a woman to help her find her father and uncover the mysteries of her ancestry.
Only a bare minimum of non-action scenes were included in the final cut. There's enough here to piece together a rudimentary storyline but the details are often either confusing or nonsensical.
Rupert Friend plays an assassin even deadlier than Homeland's Peter Quinn... But his very indestructibility means the story's formulaic action never gets particularly gripping.
Overall though, this is a film to be taken with a pinch of salt. There's a certain sense of enjoyment to be found in the hyper-action of Hitman: Agent 47, but absolutely nothing to chew on or take away.
