Hitman

Hitman is a mess of a movie. The movie was based on the video game of the same name, and the movie is just about what you would expect from a movie based on a video game, not much (why does Super Mario Brothers pop up in my little brain). I think the writers wrote down little scenes, a gunfight here, girlfriend there, another gunfight there, and then threw all the pieces up in the air, and then tried to make a movie out of them in whatever order the pieces fell in. The plot is hard to follow, and doesn't ever really feel right. The motivation of the characters never makes sense, and doesn't feel right. Hitman just doesn't feel right.

This is probably one of those things that looked pretty sweet on paper. Skip it on the big screen; skip it on DVD; just skip it (unless RiffTrax gets a hold of it).
