Likewise, the NSA do not in fact have commandos on their payroll, and only US fake numbers are allowed to start with 555. The whole idea of Interpol 'agents' is a nonsense used only by films that can't even be bothered to do basic research, and Inspector Zenigata of Lupin III. This argument about who's in charge will take up far too many of his scenes, due to one minor-teeny-tiny, even-little problem. "Call the Russian secret service and tell them Interpol has jurisdiction!" Exactly how you're meant to identify someone you've never seen by a photo is left to our mocking imagination, but it's immediately ruined by Whittier's next face-palm worthy line: Having at least a couple of brain-cells, Whittier watches the footage and calls bullshit-though is immediately distracted by a phonecall saying that 47 has been found and they even have a photo of him. What it actually sounds like is that every time there's an unsolved murder, they have to put up with Dougray Scott popping up and going "It's the magic assassin elf! Why won't you believe me?" From this, we're supposed to induce that Interpol is refusing to listen to his safe advice. that he's been chasing Agent 47 for the last three years, and "No motive, no forensic evidence, no witnesses." Yet somehow, he knows that this man specifically is responsible for over 100 deaths, and has even charted them on the wall.
Proving this, Whittier struggles to explain to a skeptical. The two aren't necessarily incompatible plot devices, but the film does nothing to bring them together into a single consistent entity. The film's version turns it into a group that recruits orphans and brainwashes them, before having them quite clearly working as freelance agents who get to choose whether or not they accept missions. The one has nothing to do with the other, and indeed, the other people in the ICA are just regular humans, complete with names.

To clarify things slightly, the movie has essentially mixed two things from the games into one-Agent 47's origin as a genetically engineered clone, and the Agency he went to work for after escaping his creator.
Is.Īnd also: How the hell does he know it's called The Organisation?! To make things extra-confusing, while they're the Organisation in dialogue, they're the ICA (International Contract Agency) on computers and in other mentions. That's a hell of an open secret, and one made even sillier when you find out that the Organisation loves nothing more than putting their logo onto their weapons, having tattoos of it, and even putting it onto bombs, and their idea of subtle discretion is having an army of bald hitmen with bright red ties and barcodes on the backs of their heads.

This already inane line is then made worse by the exposition continuing to explain that this top secret organisation has ties to every single government in the world, and its sole purpose is the training of professional killers-of whom 47 is of course The Best. "Rumour is he works for a group known only as The Organisation so secret that nobody knows it exists." See if you can spot a problem with this dialogue. But that's nothing next to the nonsense they're saying. on 47 and his employer, and if that sounds vague, it is. Snap back to three months earlier, and what would ordinarily be the dumbest line in an entire movie, but in Hitman's case, merely in the top three.
