* SoOkayItsAverage: It's hardly the worst film in the world, but it is painfully average, and does nothing new in the genre. The plot is basic, the characterisation is wonky (while fairly good at keeping 47 close to his source material, Katia did not feel like a good fit for a Hitman film).

* SoOkayItsAverage: It's hardly the worst film in the world, but it is painfully ''painfully'' average, and does nothing new in the genre. doesn't really do anything new. The plot is basic, pretty basic (47 escorting Katia to Litvenko, TheSyndicate want to kill Katia, it all goes awry), the characterisation is wonky (while fairly good at keeping 47 (47 is depicted close to his source material, Katia did not feel is nothing like Victoria from ''Absolution'', with whom she's based on, while Diana is shockingly ruthless, and not at all friendly like she is in the games), and generally the film just feels a bit uninspired. That said, there's nothing outright ''bad'' about it either; the action scenes are well shot, the soundtrack is decent, and there are several scenes that are praised for being a good fit translation of hitman gameplay to the big screen (The scene of Katia avoiding cameras, for a Hitman film). example, is well-liked for the creative ways of hiding Katia from the cameras).

** You'd think a movie about ''Hitman'' would be about, say, 47 being a hitman and assassinating targets? Nope, instead it's a generic action movie plot.

* VideoGameMoviesSuck: The general consensus is that this second outing for Agent 47 is yet another disappointing video game film adaptation. Many found it was [[AudienceAlienatingPremise too action-oriented for fans of the games, and too much like a video game to please mainstream action movie fans, meaning nobody was happy with the outcome]].

* FridgeBrilliance: [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks While criticized by the fans]], the buzzcut 47 has on his head answers a question a few have had about the character: how does nobody notice 47 by the barcode behind his head? His haircut camouflages it.

* HilariousInHindsight: Doubles as a possible TakeThat. The movie contained an extended scene where Agent 47 infiltrated an embassy by allowing himself to get captured and only escaped through a combination of TheGuardsMustBeCrazy, GambitRoulette, and TooDumbToLive. In the third level of the 2016 ''[[VideoGame/Hitman2016 HITMAN™]]'' game, 47 has to infiltrate an embassy which requires extensive use of disguise or sneaking past both guards as well as soldiers. It's also one of the more difficult levels in the game and has numerous redundancies.

* BrokenBase: Is this film an improvement over the last outing Agent 47 had with ''Film/{{Hitman}}'', equally disappointing or as most critics and detractors have claimed ''even worse''? The dividing difference is whether you're okay with a live-action video game in all respects rather than just a movie inspired by one. However you would hard pressed to find anyone, even among proponents of ''Hitman: Agent 47'', claiming it is anything more than a passable action flick.
