Watched two movies recently:
Hitman : Agent 47.
Just awful. As a massive fan of the games, these movies are so disappointing. The entire point of the games was to remain unseen, don't engage anyone unless necessary, complete the objective and leave with as little fuss as possible...the movies are just full blown, OTT action nonsense. The casting was awful too, they couldn't even make Rupert Friend look actually bald as 47 is. 2/10.
And...
Sicario.
MUCH better! What a movie. I thought Emily Blunt's character was a little shoehorned in just to have a female element in the show (not that I'm against strong female characters), but Brolin and especially Del Toro stole the show. The first scene grips you immediately, and it doesn't let up much until the very end. Some of the shots are beautifully executed, and the soundtrack is immense and fills you with the dread that something is about to go down. Highly recommend it. 8/10.
