I watched Hitman yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, and I expected Uwe Boll level of bad. Kinda funny how the beginning used some old footage from Dark Angel to save money and how the music score sounded almost exactly like the Bourne series. Best way to enjoy this movie, if you like guns and violence, is to not think. Don't think about why an ultra-secret assassination organization couldn't think of a better name than simply "The Organization" and plastered their logo on everything. Try to ignore how impossible it would be to stay anonymous and under the radar when every single hitman in your employ is bald and has a barcode tattooed on the backs of their heads. Just enjoy the hot prostitute boobies (newly announced Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko), guns with half-foot long silencers, and explosions. Suspend your disbelief and Hitman is actually kind of funny.
I'd rate it 6/10.
PS: There's this one sequence that made me laugh pretty hard, although I'm pretty sure that wasn't the film's intended reaction. 47 runs into three other hitmen from his former organization and they tacitly agree to kill without guns. The way they go about dropping their guns to pull out swords is simply hilarious.

I agree. It was kind of cheesy, but still worth watching. There were a couple really cool scenes in it.
- great perfromances from all involved and Javier Bardem is a flat out pyschopath in this flick. I just wanted more closure at the end of the movie and I feel like the last 30 minutes of the film could've been done better. However, I still really enjoyed the movie and look forward to seeing it again so I can pick up on some of the more interesting plot tidbits
