Hitman is a 2007 action-thriller film directed by Xavier Gens, based on the video game series of the same name. The film stars Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47, a professional hitman engineered to be an assassin by the Organization. He becomes ensnared in a political conspiracy and finds himself pursued by both Interpol and the FSB. Dougray Scott and Olga Kurylenko star in supporting roles.
An international co-production between France, the United States and the United Kingdom, Hitman was released by 20th Century Fox in the US on November 21, 2007, followed by the UK on November 30 and France on December 26. Despite receiving mostly negative reviews from critics, with criticism being directed towards its plot, which was said to be convoluted, and the use of violence, while Olyphant’s depiction of Agent 47 was praised. Despite this, the film was a box office success, grossing $101.3 million against its $24 million budget. A sequel was canceled during the film's production due to the negative reception, but was eventually followed by the reboot: Hitman: Agent 47 in 2015.
