Hitman

Director: Xavier Gens

Starring: Timothy Olyphant, Dougray Scott, Olga Kurylenko, Robert Knepper, Ulrich Thomsen, Michael Offei

Release: 2007-11-27

This gawd-awful action movie stars Timothy Olyphant (of HBO's Deadwood series) as a bald assassin with a barcode tattooed on the back of his head. He has been trained to kill, kill, kill without any emotions. He has a perfect record, meaning that he's killed just about anyone he's assigned to.

So when his new job calls him to assassinate the president of Russia, he goes about his job in a typically professional manner. But something goes wrong and the president survives. He learns that he has been set up, prompting him to take revenge on those who tried to deceive him...

Dumb, noisy and ridiculous, this is hands-down the worst movie of the week.
