The popular video game Hitman had been retold in a feature film directed by Xavier Gens.

The plot of the film is about a genetically engineered assassin with a robotic mind and a barcode tattooed on his head, known only as Agent 47, played by Timothy Olyphant. Throughout the story, 47 is assigned to kill various persons by a group known as "The Agency, " for cash.

He is generally successful in doing this, but there is a twist when one assignment goes awry, which changes the whole situation and sends him on a personal mission to find out who betrayed him. He is pursued by the Russian military and agents of Interpol, as well as other assassins hired to kill him.
