He's coming. Don't say I didn't warn you.
I like the action, but the games were intentionally silly in a lot of ways. There was a lot of hijink potential they didn't make use of. You could pretty much switch 47 out with anybody in these movies and you wouldn't suspect much. They should've done it like a heist movie where you first see picture in picture views of stuff 47 sees and key actions he takes alongside the effects of them, where he keeps slipping out of trouble or causing elaborate, subtle chicanery. And then maybe a direct chase or fight here and there
I feel like it's worth noting that the official language in Nigeria is actually English. Now, a lot of people there don't necessarily speak it day-to-day, but it's completely reasonable that those guys would at the beginning.
@@aytchjay-vvv Yeah. It would be cool if they spoke Igbo or Hausa, for example. But it's not unrealistic for them not too. In fact, it's reasonable that English would be the only common language between them, as their first languages could be very different.
I feel like - if they did it in other languages with subtitles - people would complain about subtitles. This - is a character from a video game - at least they got the right voice for Diana.
Her face tattoo is a major part of their connection. He asks her about it and has a flashback of when he got the bar codes. 47 and the girl had shared trauma. Something about freedom and control over ones own life. And he didnt kill her because she did not react to his presence when she saw him in public. Meaning the agency lied about her being a loose end.
I feel that elvis is too harsh on this movie for no reason. It is his monkey brain that missed the body-tattoo, institutionalized torture that 47 and the girl has in common among many other stuff. But no, watch elvis go she's hot RigHT? for 5 minutes straight. also both of them are sort of puppets of powerful people / organizations and they are pitted against each other. He killed armed swat teams who would have killed him too, but the girl is not even able to throw a punch .. so there is a bit of emotion there, this is in accordance with the games as well, Hitman Absolution
In the first movie, if I'm not mistaken, he killed the real Belicoff at the start. It was Belicoff's body double who organized the hit as a means of taking over. There's a scene later in the film, after 47 kills Belicoff's brother, where we see Belicoff talking to the FSB agent. He goes into detail about the surgical operations needed to become a lookalike. Also, 47 doesn't kill Nika because she sees him in the public square when he's about to shoot her and she doesn't recognize him. Showing that she never witnessed anything, and this was just him being used to cover up loose ends.
@@MashaRistovaHaven't seen this movie in a long time. I think another reason why he didn't kill her is because she reminded him of his childhood. Don't know exactly what it was. I forgot

The idea of 47 in a romantic relationship in anyway is weird to me. Theres a cutscene in the first game where a chick kisses him and he shudders. It just makes sense to me that the genetically perfect clone born to kill would have no interest or time in romance. I think these movies would rock if they were just tense action movies where we follow him assassinating targets in the coolest and smoothest way possible :3
Actually the reason he didn't kill her in the beginning is because she stared right at him in the crowd and didn't recognize him, so he knew something was wrong
I remember watching this movie years back when I was younger, thinking "Wow, I didn't know that Hitman got a movie adaptation", and completely forgetting about it afterwards. I didn't even know that this "film" even gotten a sequel to begin with.
Sequel is garbage. First one had some redeeming qualities. But the 2nd one just derailed so hard. The director at the time promised his movie would do the games justice only to turn right around and say he thought the games were boring and nobody would want to see an assassin wear disguised and carefully kill his targets, but that the movie needed gratuitous action if it were to be successful. Well naturally he pushed away fans of the game which should’ve been the target audience smh
I like how the girls backstory is based off violent sexual abuse and being literally trafficked but also the movie finds every possible chance to sexualize her
@@TeruteruBozusama To be fair to them Street view wasn't really a thing yet when they were filming that movie. But also they do it because some countries are just cheaper to film in and they think no one would notice, or at least the main American audience wouldn't lol

@@seige8621same. Pretty much every reference this dude makes to these movies (including the games themselves) is literally all stuff that came out AFTER.

3:20 the forensics team would be able to tell that the explosion originated from inside the victim based on the damage done to the inside his remains, you can see that his upper torso stayed intact so that would mean that either the explosives were inside of him, or that they were strapped to him, and considering that he was taken in by that group of people they would have noticed him strapped with c4 before they brought him into the compound.
People really do misunderstand how much a CSI can find on a scene. It's already crazy how they can give an extremely accurate time of death, let alone the source of an explosion. Hell, what about arson investigators being able to find out the source of a fire?
I think Timmy olyphant was perfect for the role but it just had bad writing I did love the fact he jumps through the window and the kids were playing hitman
The reason 47 didn't kill the goth girl in the first movie is because he could relate to her because they were both abused as children and forced to have a tattoo on their head. And yeah probably because he liked her a bit.
And also that when she looked at him in the square before he pulled his gun out, she didn’t recognise him. Elvis The Alien missing obvious plot points again 😂
There's a saying in writing "you cant write a character that's smarter than you" and its 100% true. Agent 47 in these movies are a dumb person's IDEA of a smart person and it shows.
I laughed so hard in theatres when i realized they'd reused footage from Dark Angel for the barcoded kids training sequences. Particularly as they all had it on the back of their necks (as per DA) and yet they were too cheap to reshoot with proper placement for Hitman
Don't get me wrong, the bullet-proof suits they use in John Wick are stupid, but at least they're somewhat compelling and provide a few laughs as well as provide some tangible plot armour. Having a 'sub-dermal layer of titanium' is just outright lazy writing. That's like a kid saying they have a force-field while roleplay-fighting.
The Nigerians speaking English isn't too far fetched because it's the official language (also there are multiple ethnic groups that are native to the country and over 500 different national languages and dialects). It actually is more realistic, I think.
And the fact the writer has never made a sequel and it didn't blow up in popularity is troubling to me......I love it, I just want MORE! The ending was super underwhelming. I guess I could read the comics it was based off. There's a website out there with them on it to read for free.
So the first movie was definitely based off of Blood Money, but they only read the back of the box. The second movie they just wanted to do John Wick and watched the trailer of Absolution.
When I heard that scene I thought it was showing how she was seen as worthless and how a person could buy her for cheap to do whatever they wanted. But yours makes a lot more sense lol
I like the first movie. It was obviously a way to make a hitman movie in somewhat alternative universe (like the diffrent look of other agents which shouldn't be hard to pull off back then), but it succeded at that. It was hitman enough, it was fun ride, and Timoty Olyphant is a mega chad that actually made this version of a character kinda work, more lighthearted hitman, more reminiscent of new hitman trillogy. That being said i wish there was an amazing Hitman movie but i can't imagine anyone taking the role other than original voice actor. But if it ever happen it has to be "old" Hitman, dark hitman from first few games, even including absolution that while had strange plot points, actually managed to make 47 character even more interesting and fitting.
I just want a tv series similar to the patriot and barry; instead of fighting back from their employer, it’s just following them doing their hits, and manipulating people around them - cold blooded unlike Barry where he has some kind of moral line with the love interest.
When Mika says she was sold for $300, I just always assumed she was implying $300 grand. Which makes way more sense profits wise…plus people, especially in movies/tv, often abbreviate $$ amounts that’re in the hundreds of thousands to just a hundreds amount - $300 = $300,000. Kind of like how people who also say “300 large” are really saying $300,000.
the 'facility' her dad is staying in is the flower dome in gardens by the bay which makes it really funny for me to imagine that the employees and people visiting are just wondering why this old man is always in the flower dome and then is suddenly being chased by a man and a girl through the whole park.
So glad you mentioned Jason Statham, I saw a film where he plays an assassin (though it was a comedy) and he was AMAZING!! He felt almost like an alternate universe 47. They should definitely try again, but more in line with the World of Assassination trilogy this time. More serious and espionage focused, but there's plenty of room for humor (47 loves wordplay, apparently) and action, plus the overarching plot with Providence is already there!
@@Makarosc Yeah but not in the gruff and seasoned way Jason does it,he's more elegant and refined if you know what I mean.This is not a dig at Statham,just how he feels.
For the beginning scenes where they showed 47 as a child, they just re-used footage from the series "Dark angel" which also has people with barcodes, but on the back of their necks. I wonder if you can spot that in this movie, since they should have it on the back of their heads... Loved Dark Angel when I was young and the re-used scenes caught me off guard.
Its a shame David Bateson, the voice actor for 47 in the games is in his 60s, hes got the 47 look going on and maybe 20 years ago wouldve played an excellent live action 47
so the movie went absolutely in opposite direction than the games ? in the games youre good as dead when your disguise blows and someone sets off the alarm and it becomes a pain to go through the level even with different disguises as different disguises have different detections lol. im happy that atleast the recent triology of hitman concluded with a satisfying ending and a good story overall. 47 was never john wick as he uses his intelligence and mind instead of brute strength even though his reflexes are on par with john wick
For the first Hitman movie the director was forced by studio interference to add many stupid scene and to change parts of the plot. He refused and has been replaced and it is noticeable by the camera works differences
The sword fight in the train is a big example of a scene that was added later because the higher ups thought there wasn't enough action in the movie. The original plot of the movie was much more serious and psychological
One of the funniest things about him assassinating the woman in the crowd of people is that I'm pretty sure you'd get the lowest score possible if you did that in the game.
A Hitman movie should be made like a slasher movie, with 47 being the antagonist, but one who obviously wins in the end. 47's face should never be shown, and he should be shown walking around in the background of some shots, in disguise. The real voice of 47 should also be used, because that is absolutely necessary💁🏻♀️
I think they should do an animated movie with David Bateson voicing 47. The animations in Hitman 2016 were so crisp, I'd watch a whole movie just like that.
Haven't seen the video. But the moment in the first movie where all the agents (AND THE RANDOM INTERPOL AGENT?) pull out 2 katanas from inside their shirt in a mexican standoff situation is the most insane moment in any movie.
8:00 it's actually a nose hit, just because the scope is pointing at the forehead doesn't mean it will hit the forehead, considering the distance of 47 and belicof it make sense, the bullet will lose some up force and would go down as it moves so yah its nose hit not forehead
The edit at the beginning, caused me to legit think you shaved your head for this. (which means it was either very good or I am an idiot) I was like, "DAMN THE COMMITMENT!"
In the first movie, when 47 is integrating the "witness", the tattoo on her face jumps from one side to the other in the same scene. It's amazing and I couldn't believe it when I saw it jump. My friend and I rewounded it so many times.
I saw only the second movie when it was on TV while I was younger and for somehow I actually enjoyed it so I guess it's a movie about murder machines for children
one thing that bothers me these directors have a lot of lore and stuff they can use but they are like he is bald and wears a suit and kills ppl what more do u want
28:08 well Tbf in the games 47 is a clone of multiple people and has had his genetics altered extensively but also to your credit I’m pretty sure they explain that 47 got his training as a child and wasn’t born with it in the games at least
When watching the first with my elderly father, upon the line "You're not wearing underwear", he quipped, rare for him, "He must have noticed the dandruff on her shoes." and ":O" was literally the face I made."
I didn't even think I watched the first movie as a kid! I just remembered the scene with the girl tied up and I thought it was just a weird dream or something from horror, cause my mom likes to watch them. And it was from this movie. I would never thought as I forgot about it and this scene.
Never in my life did I imagine seeing Chantal “Animal Abuser” Sarault in an Elvis video. Is she that much of a lolcow that she’s a meme to the general UA-cam public now? 😭

i have never heard of these movies before in my life but i watched this entire thing, riveted lol. a testament to how good you are at this, mr. the alien
One thing that effected him and stopped him from killing her was her tattoo on her face because he asked why she did it and he can relate because of ya know barcode
@@Terminal_Apotos True, but not in 2007, when the first movie came out. In fact, I think the actor in that movie looked way too young, like 47 has looked late 30's in all of the game.
26:33 I'm 31 and I remember my 4th birthday in vivid detail. I still remember what I wore that day, what I got for my birthday, that my mum carried me around for hours and that Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us" just so happened to have been playing on TV. I still remember other things from around that time, though I can't tell whether they happened before or after my 4th birthday.
I loved Hitman 1. Bad/Good as Jason Statham in Transporter series! I wished Timothy Olyfant got more action flicks, but only a few years later he got old and skinny really fast 😭
Shooting into the ground probably would have been more dangerous. First because of the chance of creating shrapnel either out of the bullet or the material of the sidewalk (I think it's stone or brick, both of which would chip easily enough) or the chance of a ricochet, but secondly because, from a vaguely half remembered Mythbusters episode, falling bullets aren't as dangerous as everyone thinks they are.
Genuinely, thank you for this video! It has convinced me that I could be a better director than either of those for these two movies! But really, great video! Highlighting the pros and cons of what these films did right and wrong to the character of Agent 47. At this point I'm convinced that the actual voice actor for Agent 47 could do a better job in live action portraying this subtle and actually intricate character.
Agent 47 should be the antagonist of his film. Like a horror movie. Someone finds out they've had a hit put on them but the hitman is unknown, basically a shadow and linked to many deaths with no evidence. The story basically being trying to escape from the hitman.
i watched both of these in one sitting when i was a kid and loved them lmao, i acknowledged they were goofy, probably one of the first movies i went into as a kid and liked it for being "so bad it was good"

Then changing into a flamingo costume so he can "blend in" better

So the first movie was definitely based off of Blood Money, but they only read the back of the box. The second movie they just wanted to do John Wick and watched the trailer of Absolution.
When she said she was sold for 300, she probably meant 300,000 cause it might've sounded weird to be specific with the situation they are in.
Yeah, I was going to comment the same. Kinda weird that he didn't catch that.
When I heard that scene I thought it was showing how she was seen as worthless and how a person could buy her for cheap to do whatever they wanted. But yours makes a lot more sense lol
No....she says "300.....American. "
I like the first movie. It was obviously a way to make a hitman movie in somewhat alternative universe (like the diffrent look of other agents which shouldn't be hard to pull off back then), but it succeded at that. It was hitman enough, it was fun ride, and Timoty Olyphant is a mega chad that actually made this version of a character kinda work, more lighthearted hitman, more reminiscent of new hitman trillogy. That being said i wish there was an amazing Hitman movie but i can't imagine anyone taking the role other than original voice actor. But if it ever happen it has to be "old" Hitman, dark hitman from first few games, even including absolution that while had strange plot points, actually managed to make 47 character even more interesting and fitting.
*An Agent 47 dark comedy TV series* in the vein of “Barry” and “The Killer” would be the most talked about show on television if done right..
True. There’s so much lore from the hit man series they could make a great show out of it
Mix in some Killing Eve which even has some comedic undertones to it already to make it more global like Hitman tends to be.
I just want a tv series similar to the patriot and barry; instead of fighting back from their employer, it’s just following them doing their hits, and manipulating people around them - cold blooded unlike Barry where he has some kind of moral line with the love interest.
When Mika says she was sold for $300, I just always assumed she was implying $300 grand. Which makes way more sense profits wise…plus people, especially in movies/tv, often abbreviate $$ amounts that’re in the hundreds of thousands to just a hundreds amount - $300 = $300,000. Kind of like how people who also say “300 large” are really saying $300,000.
I wonder if 47 got himself one of those maps where you scratch the places where you've been...
the 'facility' her dad is staying in is the flower dome in gardens by the bay which makes it really funny for me to imagine that the employees and people visiting are just wondering why this old man is always in the flower dome and then is suddenly being chased by a man and a girl through the whole park.
So glad you mentioned Jason Statham, I saw a film where he plays an assassin (though it was a comedy) and he was AMAZING!! He felt almost like an alternate universe 47. They should definitely try again, but more in line with the World of Assassination trilogy this time. More serious and espionage focused, but there's plenty of room for humor (47 loves wordplay, apparently) and action, plus the overarching plot with Providence is already there!
What was the movie?
@@user-ss3wb8he7h probably operation fortune. its the only comedy hes in where hes a spy/assassin like agent 47. its a guy ritchie film, pretty new.
I don't think Jason Statham is good for an emotionlesskiller.He's more of a quippy badass.
@@shamanicdude860547 does have a sense of humor but it's mainly obvious murder analogies
@@Makarosc Yeah but not in the gruff and seasoned way Jason does it,he's more elegant and refined if you know what I mean.This is not a dig at Statham,just how he feels.
For the beginning scenes where they showed 47 as a child, they just re-used footage from the series "Dark angel" which also has people with barcodes, but on the back of their necks.
I wonder if you can spot that in this movie, since they should have it on the back of their heads...
Loved Dark Angel when I was young and the re-used scenes caught me off guard.
@ElvistheAlien
2:32 oh well here's your answer lol
Its a shame David Bateson, the voice actor for 47 in the games is in his 60s, hes got the 47 look going on and maybe 20 years ago wouldve played an excellent live action 47
Holy shit I just googled him and you're so right, he would've been perfect
This is one of your best videos. I started watching it and I said to myself, "What a fantastic video." Everyone's saying it. One of the best.
Roach dogg Jr?
What are you doing here
Crazy to think they attempted a hit man film twice .😊
Lol yes, very BOLD of them 🤔
They should have slapped a barcode on fassbender in his film lately. He'd be good.
I mean, if they are talented.
The first film is good if you know the original trilogy. This guy is dumb....
Why is that crazy
Its not btw
so the movie went absolutely in opposite direction than the games ? in the games youre good as dead when your disguise blows and someone sets off the alarm and it becomes a pain to go through the level even with different disguises as different disguises have different detections lol. im happy that atleast the recent triology of hitman concluded with a satisfying ending and a good story overall. 47 was never john wick as he uses his intelligence and mind instead of brute strength even though his reflexes are on par with john wick
For the first Hitman movie the director was forced by studio interference to add many stupid scene and to change parts of the plot. He refused and has been replaced and it is noticeable by the camera works differences
That's just sad
The sword fight in the train is a big example of a scene that was added later because the higher ups thought there wasn't enough action in the movie. The original plot of the movie was much more serious and psychological
@@zaer-ezart huh, no wonder why it feels so sloppy.
Ah, that's probably why there's so much terrible ADR in it. That clip in this video is just the tip of the iceburg.
The badassery Rupert Friend built during his time in Homeland was nowhere to be seen in the Hitman: Agent 47 movie.
One of the funniest things about him assassinating the woman in the crowd of people is that I'm pretty sure you'd get the lowest score possible if you did that in the game.
Bro is not getting Silent Assassin 🙏🙏🙏
8:50 agent 47 is genetically the strongest and smartest agent, which is why the videogames are about him instead of the any other.
A Hitman movie should be made like a slasher movie, with 47 being the antagonist, but one who obviously wins in the end. 47's face should never be shown, and he should be shown walking around in the background of some shots, in disguise. The real voice of 47 should also be used, because that is absolutely necessary💁🏻♀️
That's actually such an interesting idea 😭
I love this. Call it _Apex Predator_
That's genuinely genius idea
I think they should do an animated movie with David Bateson voicing 47. The animations in Hitman 2016 were so crisp, I'd watch a whole movie just like that.
That would be an awesome movie ngl
Haven't seen the video. But the moment in the first movie where all the agents (AND THE RANDOM INTERPOL AGENT?) pull out 2 katanas from inside their shirt in a mexican standoff situation is the most insane moment in any movie.
Bonkers
The interpol guy wasn't a part of that fight, he didn't pull out wakazshis.
8:00 it's actually a nose hit, just because the scope is pointing at the forehead doesn't mean it will hit the forehead, considering the distance of 47 and belicof it make sense, the bullet will lose some up force and would go down as it moves so yah its nose hit not forehead
Bald white man in a suit and tie, with a barcode tattooed on his neck.
Arguably the easiest Hitman in fictional history to spot.
You can tell the script writers never played the games, just glanced at the game cases.
3:29 Most Nigerians Speak English .... It used to be an English colony.
MAD respect for recognizing Bulgaria. I love you so much for this😭
Or he just looked up the imdb goofs section...
The edit at the beginning, caused me to legit think you shaved your head for this. (which means it was either very good or I am an idiot) I was like, "DAMN THE COMMITMENT!"
Seeing a Foodie Beauty clip put in an ETA video was a very unexpected jumpscare
I remember seeing this with my friend in theaters. He ripped ass during one of the silent moments
In the first movie, when 47 is integrating the "witness", the tattoo on her face jumps from one side to the other in the same scene. It's amazing and I couldn't believe it when I saw it jump. My friend and I rewounded it so many times.
The ending song to the first hitman movie slaps
37:00 nah bro i watched it when i was like 12 in hopes that i would understand the lore but it made me almost lobotomize myself
I saw only the second movie when it was on TV while I was younger and for somehow I actually enjoyed it so I guess it's a movie about murder machines for children
one thing that bothers me these directors have a lot of lore and stuff they can use but they are like he is bald and wears a suit and kills ppl what more do u want
Probably because the actual backstory to hitman is bonkers, and the little that is shown is berated by people like the dude who made this video.
28:08 well Tbf in the games 47 is a clone of multiple people and has had his genetics altered extensively but also to your credit I’m pretty sure they explain that 47 got his training as a child and wasn’t born with it in the games at least
I watched these, many many times and never understood what was going on. To this day I can't explain the plot to any of these.
Speaking of Jason Statham would love to get an Elvis review on all of the Transporters
Love your videos Elvis, always making my day ❤
I also can’t stand hearing the Wilhelm scream anymore. It really takes me out of whatever seriousness a movie was trying to have.
Absolutely loved the first hitman film, timothy olyphant was interesting & funny. He's also brilliant in I am number 4
The first movie deserves credit and it did its best to depict embodiment of hitman!
Thank you for making such quality and entertaining videos
When watching the first with my elderly father, upon the line "You're not wearing underwear", he quipped, rare for him, "He must have noticed the dandruff on her shoes." and ":O" was literally the face I made."
Elvis FINALLY covered these movies 😂 I was hoping he would
what a great demonstration of russian architecture and language knowledge from USA person. elvis, you amazed me again! hello from russia
I didn't even think I watched the first movie as a kid! I just remembered the scene with the girl tied up and I thought it was just a weird dream or something from horror, cause my mom likes to watch them. And it was from this movie. I would never thought as I forgot about it and this scene.
I love when you upload Elvis, always looking forward for your next videos. Much Love!
Never in my life did I imagine seeing Chantal “Animal Abuser” Sarault in an Elvis video. Is she that much of a lolcow that she’s a meme to the general UA-cam public now? 😭
This is my first video of yours. I didn't know you were a youtuber. After I watched the ad and saw the alien, I became confused. I've been buying your shirts for years and now I have reference where it comes from. Thanks for making the "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" shirt!
i have never heard of these movies before in my life but i watched this entire thing, riveted lol. a testament to how good you are at this, mr. the alien
We need a Hitman 3 directed by Uwe Boll
One thing that effected him and stopped him from killing her was her tattoo on her face because he asked why she did it and he can relate because of ya know barcode
Thanks Alien man, this video is really entertaining. I give you a thumbs up
My biggest question is why the fuck they refuse to just cast 47's actual voice actor.
Holy shit I googled him and he looks exactly like 47
Looks a little too old at this point
@@Terminal_Apotos True, but not in 2007, when the first movie came out. In fact, I think the actor in that movie looked way too young, like 47 has looked late 30's in all of the game.
26:33
I'm 31 and I remember my 4th birthday in vivid detail. I still remember what I wore that day, what I got for my birthday, that my mum carried me around for hours and that Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us" just so happened to have been playing on TV. I still remember other things from around that time, though I can't tell whether they happened before or after my 4th birthday.
The killer on Netflix is a true hit man adaption
First movie feels like watching someone who knows what theyre doing play hitman, second one is when i play hitman myself 😔
I loved Hitman 1. Bad/Good as Jason Statham in Transporter series!
I wished Timothy Olyfant got more action flicks, but only a few years later he got old and skinny really fast 😭
Saying that only british people say football is the biggest problem I saw in this video.
Typical Murican statement, I'd say lol
I would love to see a review of the National Treasure movies. My favorite videos of yours are the ones where you go over Nicholas Cage movies.
Shooting into the ground probably would have been more dangerous. First because of the chance of creating shrapnel either out of the bullet or the material of the sidewalk (I think it's stone or brick, both of which would chip easily enough) or the chance of a ricochet, but secondly because, from a vaguely half remembered Mythbusters episode, falling bullets aren't as dangerous as everyone thinks they are.
Genuinely, thank you for this video! It has convinced me that I could be a better director than either of those for these two movies! But really, great video! Highlighting the pros and cons of what these films did right and wrong to the character of Agent 47. At this point I'm convinced that the actual voice actor for Agent 47 could do a better job in live action portraying this subtle and actually intricate character.
Agent 47 should be the antagonist of his film. Like a horror movie. Someone finds out they've had a hit put on them but the hitman is unknown, basically a shadow and linked to many deaths with no evidence. The story basically being trying to escape from the hitman.
Agent 47 with hair looks great 😂
Lmao caught that knuckles "oh no" at 32:53 😂classic
i watched both of these in one sitting when i was a kid and loved them lmao, i acknowledged they were goofy, probably one of the first movies i went into as a kid and liked it for being "so bad it was good"
Lmao 30 seconds into the vid and the Trump impression has me dying
They're selling thin, pretty women for $300💀 idk why that one had me dying 😂
13:00 he did it before John Wick came out. You got the order wrong. Heck Aegent 47 is what John Wick wishes he is

New Netflix Movie "The Killer" is more hitman then these hitman movies lolll😂😂
Literally came to the comments section to say this haha
Bro, Nigerias official language IS english. Colonization you know 👀
I thought Timothy was by far the best Hitman actor. The dude had the perfect persona about him and, for me, he totally sold it.
To me david finchers the killer is exactly what a hitman film should’ve been
Elvis couldn't even bother to look up what the Official language of Nigeria is
