Agent 47 is a genetically modified killer, trained from a young age to be an unquestioning and unstoppable assassin, who will serve his creators to the end. At least that was the plan…
Based on the top-selling, award-winning computer game, Hitman is the latest DVD release from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and stars Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47 and the stunning Olga Kurylenko (recently announced as the new Bond Girl) as the mysterious Nika Boronina.
The turbo charged hit delivers even more non-stop tension with an exclusive DVD package that includes additional fight scenes, previously unseen behind the scenes footage, cast interviews and extra scenes that will set pulses racing.
Hitman is available on DVD on Monday 31st March.
Plot Summary
Agent 47 is hired by a secretive group, 'The Agency', and finds himself ensnared in a bloody battle between East and West, which finds him pursued by both Interpol and the Russian military as he treks across Eastern Europe.
Abandoned by his mysterious employer and pursued by Interpol agent Mike Whittier (Dougray Scott - Mission: Impossible II) and Russian military FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) officer, Yuri Marklov (Robert Knepper – Prison Break), the assassin must evade those he once trusted and those set to hold him responsible for the assassination of Russian President Mikhail Belicoff. As Belicoff's death is covered up, being portrayed in the media as just a graze wound, the true extent of a plot to puppet the leadership of Russia is exposed.
Directed by Xavier Gens and produced by Chuck Gordon, Adrian Askariah, Daniel Alter and Luc Besson (The Fifth Element), Hitman is the latest movie to be transferred from a popular computer game; appealing to fans of both formats.
