[projekktor id=’20472′]

Hitman: Agent 47 is an action film, based on the popular Hitman video game series, directed by Aleksander Bach, who makes his feature film debut. The film stars Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds, Thomas Kretschmann, and Angelababy.

HITMAN: AGENT 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research – and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.

“I’m always interested in what we’re not being shown with a character,” Friend explains about his leading role. “So if you’re playing an assassin like 47, what is his human side? We wanted to take somebody who is on the surface a perfect killing machine, and then explore his other traits. That intrigued me. Certainly, on the surface 47 seems indestructible and a complete killing machine, but in fact he’s an individual who bleeds and feels. He’s just very, very good at hiding it.”

Hitman: Agent 47 is rated 14A.
