      Agent 47 is an action movie directed Aleksander Bach and stars, Rupert Friend, Zachary Quinto, and Hannah Ware. The movie was released August 21, 2015 and made $78,176,496 globally. The movie had a budget of 35 million dollars.

     Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) is a genetically engineered assassin, he doesn't have emotions, has enhanced senses and bodily functions, and has extremely high pain tolerance. He also always completes his contract. When his newest contract has him track down the fully grown daughter of the scientist who created him, so he can find his creator, he goes up against a foe (Zachary Quinto) who has what seems like similar powers to him, who just happens to protecting the daughter (Hannah Ware). Eventually 47 is able to catch them unawares and shoots the foe, John Smith (I know a very original name, I wonder who came up with it?) and takes the daughter.

      When Katia comes to she is strapped in a chair in front of a jet turbine, where 47 explains to her that she was part of the same program as he was and that she is like him only better, Agent 90. After this shocking revelation, Katia and 47 must escape from the holding location, while fighting off the not so shot John Smith. After escaping the movie follows a basic action movie plot, a bunch of drama, a pivotal moment, then the climax of the movie, which involves some amazing fighting and plenty of explosions.

    This movie, in the eyes of a teenager, is awesome, sweet cars, gun fights, and gore. In the eyes of professional film reviewers however, Agent 47, is just another generic action film. There is a bit of consumerism, as the only car 47 will drive is an Audi. There is occasional swearing and not over the top blood but still deserves its 'R' rating.

      I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes action, explosion, and is a teenager. People looking for a good movie, should probably avoid this movie. 
Interesting fact: Rupert Friend accidentally hurt himself while firing a blank bullet for one scene. The hot shell bounced off the floor, and hit him in the head, burning him slightly.
