Hitman 2007

The film begins with a gripping montage depicting a group of young, bald boys being indoctrinated into the world of contract killing. They receive tattoos of bar codes while being trained in firearms and hand-to-hand combat by experienced men who oversee their development. These boys are groomed to become elite international hitmen, molded by the very organization that will later employ them.

As the story unfolds, we meet Interpol agent Mike Whittier who stumbles upon the enigmatic Agent 47 in his study. Their brief conversation sets the stage for a narrative filled with intrigue and assassination. The timeline shifts back three months, where we find Agent 47 successfully completing a hit in Niger. He quickly receives instructions from his Agency contact, Diana, to carry out his next high-profile target—the Russian President, Mikhail Belicoff.

In a remarkable display of sniper precision, Agent 47 takes out Belicoff from an astonishing distance of over 4 km. However, as he prepares to vacate the scene, he’s informed of a witness named Nika Boronina, who he must eliminate. Upon confronting her, he realizes she is unfamiliar with him and decides against killing her. The aftermath sees Belicoff’s death shrouded in deception, portrayed by the media as merely a grazing wound, while Agent 47 finds himself embroiled in a web of conspiracy when he narrowly escapes an assassination attempt on his own life.

Determined to uncover the truth, Agent 47 confronts Diana about who would want Nika dead if she wasn’t a witness, as well as why the media continues to depict Belicoff as alive. Outside the hotel, Mike Whittier and his partner receive the tip-off that 47 is on the premises. They encounter FSB operatives led by Yuri Marklov, who send in an emergency team to apprehend him. In a startling twist, Diana calls Agent 47 to reveal that the order for the hit came directly from Belicoff himself. A fierce battle ensues in the hotel as Agent 47 manages to evade capture yet again, but now finds himself marked for death by his own Agency for his failure to complete his mission.

In a tense turn of events, Agent 47 takes Nika hostage, just as she is about to be killed by her driver, and interrogates her. During their escape via train, they are ambushed by tentacles of the Agency, but Agent 47’s combat skills shine as he dispatches the attackers, including one who had previously tried to eliminate him. He also confronts Mike Whittier, but cleverly manages to flee with Nika.

Eventually, Agent 47 orchestrates a meeting with Agent Smith, later revealed to be affiliated with the CIA. Smith divulges shocking information that Belicoff’s rivals orchestrated the hit on the real Belicoff and replaced him with a lookalike loyal to their cause. In a twist of fate, Agent 47 proposes a deal to Smith: if Smith agrees to aid him in the future, he will eliminate Udre, Belicoff’s brother and an arms dealer involved in human trafficking. Smith accepts the offer.

The mission takes them to Turkey, where Agent 47 infiltrates the arms-dealing world, killing Udre in vigorous combat. It soon becomes clear that Udre’s death was part of a larger strategy to expose the fake Belicoff, who, in collaboration with Yuri and other hidden forces, aims to usurp power in Russia.

Agent 47 cleverly captures Yuri and compels him to orchestrate an assassination attempt on Belicoff during a eulogy for Udre. Donning a soldier’s disguise, Agent 47 eliminates the president’s guards and confronts Belicoff in a chilling setting. After a brief exchange, he fatally shoots Belicoff at point-blank range.

In a final strategic move, Agent 47 willingly submits to capture by Interpol, being led away by Mike Whittier in a Mercedes-Benz G500. Just as he appears to be cornered, Agent Smith intervenes with a convoy of sleek black Audi Q7s, facilitating 47’s escape.

The narrative then flashes forward to the earlier conversation between Agent Whittier and Agent 47, where a shocking revelation occurs. 47 unveils the body of Mr. Price, a decoy dressed to resemble him, concluding a conspiratorial arrangement where Whittier agrees to play along with 47’s calculated plans, admitting the true Agent 47 is the one in his home. As 47 departs, he shares a final sentiment with Whittier, expressing hope that their paths do not cross again.

The film culminates in a poignant moment involving Nika, who receives an envelope from an unknown sender, revealing that her dream of owning a vineyard has finally come true. Meanwhile, Agent 47 observes her from a distance through the scope of his sniper rifle, glancing at a fallen hitman nearby, uttering the chilling phrase_> “I told you to leave her alone. You should have listened.”_ He then turns away, disappearing into the shadows, leaving a trail of mystery and unfulfilled destinies.
