History Film / HitmanAgent47

''Hitman Agent 47'' is a 2015 American-German action film directed by Aleksander Bach and written by Skip Woods (who also wrote the original ''{{Film/Hitman}}'' film) and Michael Finch. It is based on the ''{{VideoGame/Hitman}}'' series, developed by IO Interactive, and its main character, a mysterious assassin known only as Agent 47.

** At the end of the film, [[spoiler:Diana Burnwood is implied to have turned on 47, as evidenced by the scene where 48 arrives to kill him. This plot point is lifted wholesale from the ending of ''VideoGame/HitmanCodename47'', where it was Ort-Meyer who turned on 47 and sent in an army of 48 clones to kill him.]]

** Instinct is depicted as heightened sounds and vision that allows Katia to hear and see things from far away as if she's in the same room as the sound. None of the Hitman games allow for this specific setup, the closet you get is seeing NPC and target actions through walls via silhouettes, not the room and its occupants itself. Also 47 isn' shown to have this ability, which makes this even more bizaare.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: John Smith]] survives his electrocution.

* PlayfulHacker: You wouldn't think it but 47 proves to be one of these. He enjoys killing people with computers in delightfully silly ways.

* RaceLift: The Caucasian Diana Burnwood is played by Chinese actress Angelababy. Her accent and her dress sense are the only connections she has to Games!Diana, and here she's much more ruthless-sounding.

* TheSyndicate: Appropriately, enough, named the Syndicate. Also doubles as a {{Megacorp}}.

Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) teams up with a woman named Katia van Dees (Hannah Ware) to help her find her father and uncover the secrets of her past. Together, they aim to take down the leader of Syndicate International, a {{MegaCorp}} based in Singapore. Along the way, they must contend with a superhuman killer named John Smith (Zachary Quinto) and a small army of goons.

This plot point is lifted wholesale from the ending of ''VideoGame'HitmanCodename47'', where it was Ort-Meyer who turned on 47 and sent in an army of 48 clones to kill him.]]

* CompositeCharacter: John Smith has the name and CIA affiliation of Agent Smith from the video games, though other than that he seems to actually be a version of [[spoiler: 47's EvilCounterpart Mark Parchezzi III, aka the Albino, from ''Blood Money''; he's a "failed experiment" of the Syndicate created from their attempts to create their own Agent, considers himself TheRival to 47 and wants to prove himself as the truly superior supersoldier, and has a penchant for white suits. He even gets white hair in TheStinger after reviving from being electrocuted]].

* MsFanservice: Katia swims around in a pool on the rooftop of the hotel she's staying at, topless from the back, at one point.

** [[spoiler: The Agent deployed to hunt down 47 and Katia at the end of the movie]] is Agent 48, who in the games was the final boss of the first ''Hitman'' game, ''VideoGame/HitmanCodename47'', a "superior" clone created by 47's creator intended to be a replacement for 47, due to 47 having an unacceptable amount of free will.

* RaceLift: The Caucasian Diana Burnwood is played by Chinese actress Angelababy.

* MeaningfulName: Katia's name [[spoiler: is actually a misspelling of the French word for Ninety.\\
'''47:''' Your name isn't "Katia van Dees", it's "Quatre Vingt-Dix".]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Diana Burnwood]] attempts to have 47 assassinated at the end of the movie.

* TheStoic: Agent 47 displays no real emotions except when talking about parenthood and sacrifice, [[spoiler: which may well just to manipulate Katia.]]

* MeaningfulName: Katia's name [[spoiler: is actually a misspelling of the French word for Ninety.]]

* MsFanservice: Katia swims around in a pool on the rooftop of the hotel she's staying at, topless from the back, at one point. For some reason.

** For that matter, [[spoiler: The child's inhaler.]]

* ActionSurvivor: Katia is this as her superpower. She's inhumanly capable of surviving. Fighting? Not so much.
** Until later in the movie, at least.

* {{MegaCorp}}: Subverted by Syndicate International. While they have a massive skyscraper in Singapore, it's stated they're on the verge of bankruptcy due to how much effort they've put into their super-soldier program.

* AdaptationalBadass: John Smith, if he's meant to be Agent Smith from the games. [[spoiler:Also a case of AdaptationalVillainy.]] He's also a far more effective opponent to 47 than [[spoiler: Mark Parchezzi III]], the other character from the games he seems to be based off of, ever got to be (due to gameplay limitations).

* AmbiguousSituation: Is 47 [[spoiler: honestly trying to help Katia or there to kill Litvenko? Is his second target Litvenko or Katia?]]
* AndTheAdventureContinues: The ending of the movie has 47 and Katia facing [[spoiler: another Agent.]]

* ArmorIsUseless: Averted to an extent. The normal armor is useless but [[spoiler: John Smith's special armor]] is able to take not only a knife through the shoulder but also several gunshot wounds at point blank range.
* BadassAbnormal: Agent 47, of course, is this. So is Katia [[spoiler: a.k.a 90]]. [[spoiler: John Smith turns out to be one as well.]]

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: "Bombs."]]

* ConsummateLiar: Both 47 and John Smith never convey any sign they're telling lies. [[spoiler: When everything they say is a lie.]]

* {{Cyborg}}: Unexpectedly, [[spoiler: John Smith]] is one. [[spoiler: He possesses subdermal titanium armor grafted to his skeleton via nanotech--in other words, he's bulletproof.]]

* DressingAsTheEnemy: This is 47's primary tactic in the games, and he does it here in the movie as well.
* FatalFlaw: John Smith wants to prove himself better than 47.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Played with as Agent 47 is, of course, the good guy in the movie but Katia has no reason to trust him over the much-much more reassuring-looking John Smith.
* HostageForMacguffin: Notably averted. Litvenko is threatened with death if he doesn't give the BigBad what he wants; he refuses. Said enemy then threatens to take his daughter, but Litvenko knows they don't have her. Then the BigBad promises that he'll leave the daughter in peace if Litvenko complies, with the implication that he'll kill her if he doesn't. Litvenko *still* refuses, knowing that giving him what he wants will cause far more death and suffering.
* ImplacableMan: John Smith doesn't look it. [[spoiler: He is.]]

* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler: John Smith]] initially wears dark clothing when the audience is supposed to think he's the protagonist, but switches to a near-white suit after he's revealed as a villain.
* ManipulativeBastard: John Smith preys on Katia's fear in order to make him trust him. [[spoiler: He's actually out to find her father to have him make his employer an army of super-soldiers.]]

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: John Smith isn't.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: Agent 47 comes off as this to Katia. He should really work on his appearance.

* SherlockScan: Agents as well as Katia all possess this as one of their basic abilities.
* TheStinger: [[spoiler: John Smith revives from being electrocuted, now with white hair and white eyes.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: [[spoiler: John Smith]] is this compared to 47. He's been enhanced physically to a greater degree (including bulletproof skin), but lacks the enhanced intelligence, perception, and mental capabilities of the original Agent series, which is why the Syndicate considers him to be a failed experiment (even though he's actually quite cunning by regular human standards).

Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) teams up with a woman named Katia van Dees (Hannah Ware) to help her find her father and uncover the secrets of her past. Together, they aim to take down the leader of Syndicate International, a {{MegaCorp}} based in Singapore. Along the way, they must contend with a superhuman killer named John Smith (Zachary Quinto) and an small army of goons.

** [[spoiler: The Agent deployed to hunt down 47 and Katia at the end of the movie]] is Agent 48, who in the games was the final boss of the first ''Hitman'' game, ''Hitman: Codename 47'', a "superior" clone created by 47's creator intended to be a replacement for 47, due to 47 having an unacceptable amount of free will.

* TheSyndicate: Appropriately, enough, named the Syndicate. Also doubles as a {{Megacorp}}.

* TheEndingChangesEverything: [[spoiler: Agent 47 was there to kill Litvenko and Le Clerq the entire time. It's entirely possible, nay, even likely, he was playing Katia to accomplish his goal.]]
** Also, that the Agency [[spoiler: has sent another Agent to deal with them.]]

* ChekovsGun: [[spoiler: "Bombs."]]

** While this scene is fanservice indeed, Katia could had some reason for swimming topless. She hadn't got swimming suit; panties will dry quickly, but bra will be still wery dump in the morning, so she decided not to wear it. Furthermore, pool water is usually chlorinated, which isn't good thing for lingerie.
