Anecdotes:

The scene where Agent 47 sits atop the roof, sniper in hand and red lettering behind him is taken directly from artwork from the game, as is the scene between 47 and Yuri in the bathtub, including the rubber duck.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Michael Whittier said that a bullet that hit Belicoff was fired 4km away, however, no sniper rifle is capable for such a far shoot, the longest range recorded for sniper kill is merely 2430m. There isn't a rifle or munition in existence that has the accuracy or effective distance to be able to hit someone from four kilometres away.

Guillemet:

[first lines]
Mike Whittier: Fuck!
Agent 47: It's not there. It's in the kitchen, where you left it.
Mike Whittier: How'd you get in?
Agent 47: You have a nice family. They're fine. Alive. Asleep.

Excellent

As we are all well aware of most film adaptations of video games are usually very poor. This is not the case with Hit-man. Hit-man has done something that no other video game film has been able to pull off before. It is entertaining to the general audience who has not plaid the video game, by use of witty remarks, dark humor, and excellent action scenes. On the other hand fans of the video game series will be pleasantly surprised that Hollywood has not butchered the concept of the video games. There has been much debate over the actor who played 47; all actors did an excellent job. I was very pleased.

Bottom line: If you enjoy the video games – see it. If you don't know anything about the video games but want to see a movie similar to Bourn Identity then see it.
