Dangers of bioengineering ultimate assassins

No Image

The movie that everyone has been raving about finally graced our local box office this past weekend, and the name on everyone’s lips was Agent 47. Hitman: Agent 47 is a 2015 German-American spy action thriller reboot/remake of the 2007 film Hitman based on video game series of the same name by Square Enix.

The film is an epitome of true action as it is loaded with violence. This, of course, is the nature of assassins with complex missions. As we zoom in on this thriller, all hell breaks when an agent is genetically engineered to be the perfect killing machine. He is the culmination of decades of research, endowed with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. Known only as Agent 47 (Rupert Friend), his latest target is a corporation, which plans to unlock the secret of his past to create an army of killers even more powerful than him. With help from a young woman, the elite assassin confronts revelations about his origins in an epic battle with his deadliest foe. Rupert Friend fits in perfectly for this role with his intimidating looks and a bar coded head. Word reaching yours truly is that initially his role was meant for Paul Walker, but unfortunately he died in 2013.
