Hitman opened last Wednesday and I was there to see it. Gamers had their doubts about 20th Century Fox’s film adaptation of Eidos Interactive’s Hitman series. Timothy Olyphant was cast in the lead and largely untested helmer Xavier Gens sat down in the director’s chair. Fans’ faith was tested when Gens was reportedly yanked from the project by studio bosses for including too much violence in his final cut. Of course it’s based off the game Hitman and you actually see people in one scene playing the Hitman game just as Hitman walked by them. Aside from the movie bringing in only $23.6 million over the Thanksgiving weekend, it was an overall very good movie, with a lot of violence.
