Entertainment Weekly
In this post-"Mad Max: Fury Road" action movie age, “occasionally bonkers” just doesn’t cut it anymore. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
After a while, you give up trying to make sense of the plot and sit there gaping at the car crashes, fight scenes, and shootings. The problem is that even the mayhem quickly becomes repetitive. - 40
The Guardian
This vaguely science-fiction action picture based on a video game (and not a sequel to 2007’s Hitman) is an idiotic mess with a bafflingly dense prologue, an endless final battle, lifeless performances and anticlimactic twists, but it does have a degree of visual flair. - 40
Screen Daily
Consistently off by a beat, Hitman: Agent 47 fails to ever click into gear. - 33
The A.V. Club
Agent 47 is just slightly less dull than its disavowed predecessor — or at least its dullness seems less active, because it doesn’t turn anyone as inherently interesting as Olyphant into a dour-faced killing machine. - 30

Insofar as Hitman: Agent 47 is about anything, really, it’s about the pleasures of being on location — from the gratuitous image of Ware taking a dip in a five-star-hotel swimming pool to the sight of Singapore’s staggering Gardens by the Bay. - 30

For all its cheap talk about the importance of innovation, Agent 47 just feels like a copy of a copy of a copy. - 25
Slant Magazine
