Hitman

Okay, not the greatest, but I liked it.

Based upon a video game - of which I've never heard and certainly have never seen - the movie had a lot of fine action and drama of sorts.

It'll never come within a Boston mile of an Oscar, or anything else, but it's one for the guys, and maybe even a few gals who enjoy action, a real-man hero and semi-decent acting ... and great music!

Politically, it calls to mind the games we play with the mind ... our hero has no name, only a number - he's the perfect killing machine, and throughout the movie, the lovely young thing he's kidnapped begins to fall for him and tries to seduce him ... to no avail, leaving one wondering what else is missing besides his name.

I hope there's a sequel.
