Yes, Hitman the movie based on the video game franchise. Shockingly enough, thanks to Timothy Olyphaunt (aka the villain guy in Live Free or Die Hard), some surprisingly skilled directing, a script which is true to the games but which also knows how to have a good time, and copious amount of blood, not only did the Hitman movie not suck, but it actually kicked ass in previously unimaginable ways.
On a videogame movie rating scale of 0 to 10, where 0 was House of the Dead or Alone in the Dark and 10 was Mortal Kombat, Hitman rates about a 12. Yes, it actually was pretty damned good. And violent. It was good and violent.
Anyways the Unrated version of the film (with even more blood!) is now slated for a March release. It will be another one of those Fox Digital Copy releases which includes an SD version of film which you can transfer to iTunes or whatever on your PC. I don't get the point of Digital Copy on Blu-ray releases because if you happen to have a drive which reads Blu-ray on your PC (as I do), then what use will the Digital Copy be to you in the first place, and if you don't, then you can't use the Digital Copy. The mind boggles at Fox sometimes.
