Hitman: Agent 47

Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) is an action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Built on the cult video game series, the directing debut of Germany's Aleksander Bach moves the barcoded, bald assassin from the console to the cinema screen.

Agent 47 was engineered in a secret lab, part of a program that bred killers stripped of fear and pain. Rupert Friend plays him cold and precise. His target is Katia (Hannah Ware), a young woman who has no idea she is tied to that same program. A mysterious figure named John Smith, played by Zachary Quinto, is hunting her too, and Katia has to work out which of the two she can trust. Behind it all looms the Syndicate corporation, with Thomas Kretschmann and Ciaran Hinds rounding out the cast.

This is the second attempt to adapt the franchise, after the 2007 film starring Timothy Olyphant. The script came from Skip Woods, who also wrote that earlier movie. Sleek, hardware-driven action with chases through Berlin and Singapore, aimed at fans of the Hitman games and shootouts without the sentiment. Stream Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) online on iFILM.
