Hitman (2007)

Some people look Badass Bruce when they shave their head, but Olyphant looked like he’d just stepped out of the Intensive Care Unit; except for a bloody great barcode on the back of his head that no one seemed to notice. A tattoo like that is just the thing to keep you low-key when you’re a secret assassin hiding from the law~.
I didn't play the games, so don’t know how faithful it is to Agent 47's origin.
On the plus side it isn't made by Uwe Boll.

0½ a wig would've been useful out of 5

Christ. My condolences.

Xavier has no friends at The Nutshell.

If not for Justified, Olyphant would not have done well for himself after Deadwood.

I noticed. Heh. Poor Xavier. He has a great name but a shit CV.

The film was the 'Extreme Edition.' No idea of the difference but it was pretty bloody so I assume it refers to that.

I bet Olyphant would sign a Bring Back Deadwood petition.
