Hitman: Agent 47 is a 2015 American-German action thriller film directed by Alkaander Bach and based on the Hitman video game series. It stars Rupert Friend as Agent 47, a role originally played by Timothy Olyphant in the previous Hitman film. Other members of the cast include Zachary Quinto, Hannah Ware, and Emilio Rivera. 

Plot Summary[]

Hitman: Agent 47 centers on an elite assassin who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research ­ and forty-six earlier Agent clones -- endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina, and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47's past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 engages in an epic battle with perhaps his deadliest foe.
