hitman evaluation

Ebert's description of a professional hitman and his disguise being responsible for more than 100 murders on 6 continents was one of the criteria for evaluating the movie. There was too much killing for me! I agreed with his judgment of the movie.
The prostitute Nika, became his friend and ally or confidante because was in the same boat that he was in. No family,or friends, just acquaintances. When they discovered each needed the other, they became closer.
Ebert discussed the other governments in detail,video as part of the art form, which made for a greater understanding of the movie as a whole.
It was the onlyl recent movie I've seen of Ebert, and I don't usually agree wilth his comments when he critiques movies on t.v. However, he seems to be right on target with his ideas about "Hitman".

I really wanted to see the "Hitman" movie. So how was it over all? I know you didn't like all the killing. I can deal with the killing but hope it had a decent plot. It's funny I hardly ever agree with him eathier thats why I need other people opinions.

That seems like a interesting movie to me. I might have to go see it.. Was it a good Movie? I usually don't agree with him a lot of times when he rates movies but I like his review on I Am Legend and this one it seems like a good movie to see.

I didn't see this movie but it sounds like it would be violent just by the title. I usually do not agree with the movie critics either. I just go see the movie or rely on friends that have seen them.

I have not seen this movie and it sure is sounding like a movie that I don't want to see, I am with you when you say there is too much killing!
