Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) Rupert Friend - Movie Review

Rupert Friend, in a role originally intended for the late Paul Walker, stars as Agent 47, an assassin-on-steroids that had been genetically engineered in an elaborate experiment fostered by a secret organization looking to create the world's most effective team of highly trained killers, imbued with heightened senses, enhanced strength, acute intelligence, and a nearly complete lack of emotion. He also always follows through on his contracts. His latest assignment finds 47 looking for a young and very uniquely gifted woman named Katia, who we come to learn is the daughter of the scientist who pioneered the now-defunct Agent program. Standing in the way of his success is a an international corporation, led by their own dangerous agent named John Smith, that wants the secret to create their own Agents, which they intend on doing by picking the brain of Katia's father, Litvenko, who has been hiding underground for years.
