Hitman (2007)

Hitman is a great movie.To give a brief summary of the plot, Hitman is based on the computer game of the same name, the title kind of giving it away! Timothy Oliphant plays Agent 47, a member of an elite group of hired assassins raised from an early age by a rebellious segment of the Church. he is relentlessly pursued by Interpol agent Mike Whittier, admirably played by Dougray Scott, as well as the Russian military, as he travels around the world, knocking off targets without detection. and, of coursework, everything goes wrong with a political assassination and Agent 47 finds himself the target of his employers.
it is similar to the Bourne films, where Jason Bourne is the 'best of the best'. 47 is also a cut above the rest. Oliphant's deadpan, emotionless portrayal of our lead man fits the bill perfectly. The only criticism I have is that there's a couple of hints of emotion along the way, and these aren't dealt with well- they seem amateurish.

Naturally, there is a damsel in distress to protect, hence the emotional side of the film, and this is Nika Boronina, played by Olga Kurylenko, who is set to be the next Bond girl in 007's next outing. The chemistry between the seven is brilliant, and Kurylenko plays the part with naivety to give the right impression of the character.
The rest of the supporting cast are lovely. Among them are Robert Knepper (who is better know to lots of people as T-Bag in Prison Break), and Michael Offei, who parents of young kids will recognise as Byron Wordsworth in CBeebies' Story Makers. good turns from all other speaking parts make the movie enjoyable and liquid. I had a enjoyable hour and a half.

Hitman isn't a film to challenge the best of the best where the critics are concerned, but it does what it is supposed to do,which is entertain those who want a movie they can watch without having to think too much about it. I thought it was an incredible movie and I recommend everyone to watch it. I loved it so much I actually bought it.

The Dark Night (2008)

I absolutely enjoyed The Dark Knight. I went to the movie thinking that this was going to be another action packed movie that was ripped from the pages of a comic book, but boy was I wrong. i like the character change they made for Alfred because they was not the run of the mill stick in the mud Butler. I was surprised to see Morgan Freeman playing a role in this movie as the high tech designer for Bruce Wayne but his character was believable.

This movie had great special effects that I do not think was over done. i like special effects that are nice but look like it could actually happen in real life. I was disappointed that the lady fair was killed, because I was hoping that her & Bruce could actually have a meaningful life together, but I guess that would have killed the storyline for the sequel which I know is coming.

I was shocked by the outcome of the choices in the movie. I would have bet that if you gave someone a chance to live or take the chance of someone killing you first would have been a selfish decision. i am glad to see that a positive choice of living & let live when the Joker gave five groups of people a choice to kill the other group & live or not kill them & they have to make the same choice.

Over all this movie had a lot of hidden messages.
