In the original, the hitman is a deaf-mute. In the remake, Nicolas Cage's girlfriend is.

The original, much like the Pang Bros themselves, was overrated.

sorta a spoiler there, don't you think?

That may be the worst poster of all time. Is this for a movie or a nicolas cage geocities fansite?

Hitman remake?

We have really gone down the toilet when there's a remake of a movie based on a video game. ;)

Cue Murray Head... ;)

What spoiled it? The trailer, or the description on IMDB?

This looks awful.

What's with the bad hairpieces they keep giving Cage? He would've looked better had he just shaved his head. (not totally bald like hitman, but a close crop at least) It's time Nic, you're not 30 anymore...

"A hitman (Cage) in Bangkok to pull off a series of jobs falls for a local woman and bonds with his errand boy."

that's the IMDB description I see.

Nicolas Cage needs to go away.

Unlike the rest of you, I'll judge it after I see <i>at least</i> the trailer. Who knows, right?

It seems, with each successive Nicolas Cage action vehicle, I wish that I were deaf. And preferably also blind.

The trailer is in the first post. And it's awful.

There's a link to the trailer in the first post if you're interested.
This flick isn't getting any excitement from me. Its only hope is the star power of Nicholas Cage, which I think is pretty much used up.

It's a movie ABOUT a hitman, not based on the character "Hitman". Totally different.

About his hair, Nic got the transplantation done in the early days of the procedure, so it looks like shit.

How did you read my post and think that's what I was saying? Thanks Captain Obvious!

I don't know about this, but Nick Cage's been doing one lousy movie after another these past years.

Just saw the trailer. I'm not going to see this for the same reason I didn't see The DaVinci Code. :)

Penelope Cruz isn't in it?

Okay, you're right. I stand corrected.

looks fine to me. :shrug:

This might be a little better than his recent efforts. I used to be a big fan of Cage's in the mid 90s. Besides WTC, since National Treasure Cage just seems to be selling his namesake and disregarding the quality of his movies. IMO.
