Hitman: Agent 47

Hitman: Agent 47 is a 2015 action thriller film based on the Hitman video game series, developed by IO Interactive, and its main character, a mysterious assassin known only as Agent 47. It is a reboot of the 2007 film Hitman, and was directed by Aleksander Bach (in his directorial debut) and written by Skip Woods (who also wrote the 2007 film) and Michael Finch. The film stars Rupert Friend, Hannah Ware, Zachary Quinto, Ciarán Hinds, Thomas Kretschmann, and Angelababy.

Hitman: Agent 47 premiered in New York City on August 13, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 21. It was panned by critics, even further than the original film, who took issue with the screenplay, visual effects, and lacking faithfulness to the source material, although the action scenes, score and some performances were praised. Nevertheless, the film grossed $82.3 million worldwide against its $35 million budget.

47 is an "Agent", a genetically-enhanced super soldier created by Dr. Petr Litvenko, a skilled Ukrainian geneticist. Litvenko, unable to bear the guilt of his creation, abandoned the Agent project. 47 works as a hitman for the ICA (International Contracts Agency) and has spent the last few years tracking down Litvenko's daughter, Katia; he gets a lead from mercenaries led by Delriego, who have been trying to find Litvenko in order to recreate the Agent program for their own means.

Katia, living in Berlin under the assumed surname of Van Dees, has worked tirelessly to find an unknown man and is plagued by overwhelming anxiety and a superhuman awareness of everything around her. Katia is approached at a subway station by a man calling himself John Smith. He tells her that 47 is on his way to kill her, and offers her protection, while hinting that he has information about the man she's seeking. 47 finds and attacks the pair, who are able to escape, but not before 47 grazes Katia's arm with a sniper bullet.

Smith and Katia hide out in a hotel room. He explains that he is an operative for a corporation known as Syndicate International and that the man she's seeking is her father. Katia shows him the clues she has put together and asks Smith to tell her everything he knows about her father. Based on the languages he knows, his age, his love of orchids and medical condition (lung cancer), Katia deduces where her father must be living. Before she can tell Smith, 47 enters, leaving Smith for dead and capturing Katia.

Once Katia awakens, 47 explains to her that she is an Agent, designed by her father to be better than even 47. He explains that her name "Katia van Dees" is a homophone for her real name, "Quatre-vingt-dix"; which is French for "90". He shows her how to use her heightened senses in combat and the two fight against Syndicate forces. They are confronted by Smith, who is revealed to have surgically implanted subdermal titanium body armor, making him impervious to gunshots. After fighting off Smith, 47 and Katia manage to escape. Katia makes 47 promise that he won't harm her father and finally reveals Litvenko's location — Singapore. Elsewhere, 47's handler Diana, learning of his situation, contacts another Agent with a contract in Singapore.

47 and Katia track down Litvenko, who apologizes to Katia for abandoning her, saying that he only wanted to keep her safe and referring to 47 as her "brother". Just then, Syndicate soldiers attack the group and they are forced to flee. During the escape, Litvenko is captured by the Syndicate, but not before 47 slips him an explosive-rigged inhaler.

Smith tortures Litvenko under the supervision of Syndicate director Antoine Le Clerq, but Litvenko refuses to reopen the Agent program. 47 hacks into the Syndicate announcing system and Katia crashes a stolen helicopter into the building; 47 disguises himself as a firefighter to get inside undetected. The two fight their way through Syndicate security forces, and 47 is once again confronted by Smith. 47 defeats him by electrocuting him.
