When grading, I hesitated for a long time between two stars and three stars.
To be honest, if the original plot is not considered, I think this movie can get a pretty good rating. Its plot is compact and smooth, and the rhythm is well grasped. The silver dancers in the game and the sniping under the neon lights have been restored, and it can fully withstand the 3-star evaluation.
but. This is just a good plot movie, and the only thing you can see in this movie has to do with the game is probably the barcode behind the little bald head. Uncle 47 in the game has almost no emotions, no expression on his face at all times, and is cold like a machine; the bald boy in the movie has rich facial expressions and talks too much (compared to the game). This sense of incongruity is easy to notice even if you have only played one "Hitman: Absolution" (personally, I feel that Absolution is the most played by players), if you pay attention to the eyes of the little bald head in the movie, this sense of inconsistency will reach the peak. You will feel that the eyes of the little bald head in the movie are a little too bright. The eyes in the stills are still in the past, but the movie is full of disobedience. . .
The second sense of disobedience is the scene at the train station. In the plot, the little bald head forgave the detective's life at the request of the heroine. When I saw this, I had completely lost the desire to continue watching the movie. As a killing machine, Uncle 47 still has a trace of humanity in his heart. In the game, he has always been confused about his existence and goals. Will Uncle 47 forgive a good man who is a great threat to him? It is possible, but whether to pardon or not will be decided by Uncle 47 himself, rather than making a choice under the impetus of others. Also, neither 47 nor any killer will take the heroine's oil bottle with him when he performs a mission!
The most important thing is to play. As we all know, the killer series is not a chug game (although you can play it too), the essence of this game is to use various means to collect intelligence, organize information, and choose your own way to assassinate the target (attention! Yes assassination!!). But in the movie, except for the montage-like way of explaining several assassinations at the beginning, the rest are all in the God of War! Am I watching Hitman 47 or Kratos 47? ? Everyone's "Mechanic 2" is better than your professional! ! And ah! Why does this movie have a sense of sight of "This killer is not too cold" halfway through? ? This movie is so bad, so stop making fun of Russia, okay?
There are also flaws in the plot of the movie. After the little bald head assassinated the Russian president, how could Interpol still come to rob the Russian KGB? At the end of the plot, the gunship swept the president into a sieve without confirming the president's death. . Finally, the assassin who killed the Russian president can still be taken away by the international police? The CIA is also coming to rob people? That's enough to trigger an act of war, right?
Summarize. Rather than a game movie of "Killer", this movie is more like a fan movie of "This Handbrake Is Not Working". For non-fans, this movie is not bad, but for die-hard killer fans, it is a movie that insults IQ. The plot logic has loopholes, but it is still enjoyable for you to watch. Recommended for non-fans.
