Who is Hitman?

The “Hitman” known only as Agent 47 (Tim Olyphant) is an international assassin who works for a mysterious organisation called The Agency. A ruthless killing machine whose most powerful weapons are his nerve and a resolute pride in his work, Agent 47 has been trailed for years by a relentless Interpol agent, Mike (Dougray Scott).

As Agent 47 prepares for and executes his latest assignment – the assassination of a power-hungry, psychopathic Russian politician – he is betrayed and becomes embroiled in a far-reaching conspiracy. His assignment is further complicated when he is unexpectedly drawn to a beautiful and damaged girl, Nika, who becomes a “random equation” in 47’s precision-fueled work and life.
