Hitman 2.5 - Hack and Slash


Hitman: Hack and Slash
Genre: Action
Director: Francis Lawrence
Writer: Dwight Gallo
Based on the video game series
Cast: Ed Skrein, Charlotte Riley and Nico Santos

Plot: Agent 47 (Ed Skrein) meets with Diana Burnwood (Charlotte Riley) on a container ship in the South Pacific. She tells him that they still haven't been able to locate his friend Father Zittorio. 47 is frustrated and begins to suspect Zittorio has been killed by now. 47 collects himself and asks Diana who the Agency wants him to kill. She tells him there is a contract for Charlie Sidjan, a hacker running a phoney software company in Malaysia. Sidjan has stolen a valuable piece of US military software that works as a key signature. In the hands of an adversary, any incoming missile will be detected as American. Agent 47 comments that it is a nifty tool for anyone who wants to drum up anti-American sentiment or start a world war. Diana says that the client wants 47 to retrieve the code and exterminate Charlie Sidjan and all records of the code.

A helicopter arrives on the container ship to take Agent 47 to nearby Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 47 then makes his way on foot to the Petronas Towers. He calls in the fire department, saying he smelled smoke in the building. When the fire fighters arrive, 47 knocks one out and steals his uniform. 47 then heads through the security checkpoint. Security ushers him in even though the metal detectors are going off around him. 47 then heads down into the basement where Charlie Sidjan (Nico Santos) is sitting at a row of computers. 47 splits his head open with the fire axe. He then notices a picture on one of the computers of two identical twin brothers, one of whom is Charlie Sidjan. 47 immediately calls Diana and tells her that he's pretty sure Sidjan has a twin brother. She tells him to continue on to find the software while she looks into that.

47 looks at a security monitor and notices the other Sidjan twin in a penthouse. Diana reminds him to go to the server room to place a dongle on the master server, that way the client will be able to access the system and retrieve the encoded information. 47 arrives to the door to the server room, but it's locked. He asks Diana if she has the code, but she says she does not, but she does mention that the room is air conditioned. 47 heads to the maintenance room and enters the air ducts. Diana tracks his position until he is just above the server room. 47 then breaks through the vents and crashes down into the server room below. Agent 47 attaches the dongle to the building's main server and walks out of the room.

Diana informs Agent 47 that she believes he killed Charlie's brother Brat, and that Charlie is on the penthouse level of the building. Agent 47 enters an elevator and hits the 'P'. When the elevator opens, 47 finds himself standing in front of an entire security team. They attack him with stun batons, but 47 rips one away and begins incapacitating the team with it.

Agent 47 then heads down a hallway where he finds Charlie Sidjan (Nico Santos) in a Jacuzzi. Charlie invites 47 to join him, but 47 respectfully declines. Charlie asks if 47 has already killed his brother and 47 nods his head. Charlie laughs that it's been a good ride just before Agent 47 shoots him in the head. Agent 47 then heads down the elevator to the streets of Kuala Lumpur below.
