Based on a video game, "Hitman: Agent 47" doesn't make too much of an effort to shy from that fact. There are literally scenes that feels like video game levels that needs to be passed, just to get to the next level. I admit that those scenes were somewhat entertaining to watch; like a certain stealth sequence in an airport, but they also felt shallow and fabricated.
The movie had some interesting plot ideas involving who the characters are and their motivations, but the story just felt very middle of the road. It felt like the premise was just there to tie in the action set pieces. That wouldn't be too bad of a directing decision to make, but the action scenes are just serviceable enough, and aren't exactly spectacularly awesome.
I did like Robert Friend as Agent 47 though, and his acting felt perfect for the role. Hannah Ware was more or less good playing a character that would fit better in another genre film. Zachary Quinto was also just fine, but seemed happy to just chew each scene as 47's nemesis.
"Hitman: Agent 47" is decent as a video game based movie, which is better than the many other horrible ones that were made. As an action movie though, it's just in the average to below average range, which means you're better off watching something better.
