Hitman

The Hitman franchise is a film and TV series adaptation of the popular stealth-action video game franchise created by IO Interactive. The franchise follows Agent 47, a genetically engineered assassin with no personal attachments who executes high-profile missions. The two feature films, Hitman (2007) and Hitman: Agent 47 (2015), brought the iconic assassin to the big screen, but received mixed reviews due to deviations from the game's stealth-driven approach. Despite the films' reception, the character remains a compelling figure in action-thriller cinema.
