For those who aren’t sure about the concept, the film revolves around an elite assassin for was engineered to be the perfect killing machine and is distinguished by the last two numbers of a barcode on his neck. Through research, he has developed super strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. But all that is about to change when he targets a mega-corporation who plan to create an array of armies more murderous than him. Teaming up with a woman who may hold the secret to bringing them down, he sets off on an action packed thrill ride.
Visually, this looks stunning and comparatively to the 2006 version, it definitely looks like a vast improvement. With Rupert Friend in the titular role and the likes of Zachary Quinto, Hannah Ware and Ciaran Hinds beside him, Agent 47 looks to be good. But whether or not it’s great or spectacular has yet to be proven. What do you think of the trailer?
