"Hitman stands right on the threshold between video games and art. On the wrong side of the threshold, but still, give it credit." — Roger EbertRoger Ebert: Hitman Review (November 21, 2007)

"As a movie on its own, it's simple monotony. Olyphant, affecting Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry voice, is about as menacing as Mr. Clean, and the action scenes - whether the weapons are fists, feet, swords or guns - fly past without any tension or suspense. Hitman is a miss." — New York Daily NewsNew York Daily News: 'Hitman' is dud on arrival (November 21, 2007)

"A Eurotrashy vidgame knockoff that misses its target by a mile." — VarietyVariety: Hitman Review (November 20, 2007)
