Most critically acclaimed Hitman movie adaptation

The two big-screen adaptations of Agent 47’s exploits have been less than spectacularly received, and went from bad to worse according to the critics. The most recent, Hitman: Agent 47 (2015), directed by Aleksander Bach and starring Rupert Friend, has an average score of 28 out of 100 based on 27 critics. The first Hitman movie, Hitman (2007) achieved its rather more respectable meta-score of 35 out of 100 from 22 critics. It was directed by Xavier Gens and starred Timothy Olyphant as the orphan that would become an assassin.
