Final Trailer For Hitman: Agent 47

The final trailer has been released for Hitman: Agent 47, and while the story may laid out for us all to see, fans of the highly popular video game series have to admit this seems to be pretty faithful adaption, right down to the set pieces where the titular master assassin (Rupert Friend) dispatches his foes in incredibly inventive ways (top marks for the sequence involving the jet engine). Video game adaptions are always more miss than hit, but the decision to just focus on the action and over the top violence may see this be a worthwhile adaption. For the fans at least.

Released: 21st August (U.S.)/ 27th August (IRL/U.K.)

Synopsis: 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.
