Better than the reviews and numerical score. Here's why


In a way, it's completely unfair to ever consider the numerical scores if a video game or book adaptation.

The minute a project is released, the fans of the existing work will usually attack it. They tend to rate it poorly vs the source material.

the scorch trails is a great example of this. I never read the book, enjoyed the film though)

With that, I think this film was a fun goofy action flick more than anything else.

My wife loves the actor from homeland and loved this. She never played hitman on any pc or game console, and generally pans crap movies.

Take films like this as they are.

Fun, irrelevant and full of pretty visuals.

They can't all be rosebud.

IMDB really needs to start an upvote system... I upvote your post friend.

Yes. The negative response this movie had lead me to believe that it was absolute crap, only marginally less crappy than the Timothy Olyphant Hitman movie. Boy was I wrong, I actually enjoyed this. I felt invested enough not to consider sitting this through a waste of time. It was fun all the way through.
