Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
[An] occasionally laughable action-thriller.
Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York
Rotten
As far as it being a video game, I was in the theater and I was trying to work the remote control to close the curtains and turn the sound down.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
There's a cool opening credits sequence, but beyond that 'Hitman' doesn't make much sense, is encumbered by clunky dialogue, some amateurish performances and cliched set-pieces we've seen umpteen times before.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten
The only thing Hitman succeeds in doing is confirming what common sense could tell you without spending millions of dollars on a special-effects-filled movie: A series of novels is much richer source material than a series of video games.
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News
