When the first scene of the hitman’s skills shows a miss, it’s a sign. Dunno whether it’s a sign that the movie is going to be dopey or a sign that the character is.
What happens when you dumb down James Bond to fit an American attention span? You either get Casino Royale – which was good – or Hitman – which was OK.
I liked it. I might pick it up on DVD. But I did go home and watch Payback for a similar story with a much more fulfilling experience.
