OK, I wasn't expecting anything like cinematic genius or anything. I went in to this movie with pretty low expectations.
This movie disgusted me.
No, it wasn't especially gory. It wasn't excessively violent knowing what it was going it.
It was, however, horrifyingly misogynistic.
Don't read further if you don't want to be kind of spoiled:
Agent 47 (Male lead-you can tell it's going to be good when the main character's name is a number) kidnaps a woman who is being held as a sex slave by the President of Russia. It's kidnapping, not a rescue-he doesn't know that she's a slave, and she isn't going willingly.
He stuffs her in the trunk of an admittedly pretty sweet Audi with the corpse of her driver.
FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
Finally, he pulls her out of the trunk and tosses her a sandwich for breakfast. While she eats the sandwich, she says "I'd thank you if I wasn't so mad for tossing me in the trunk." She then proceeds to make doe eyes at him while he gets some sleep. In a car. With the girl he's just kidnapped RIGHT NEXT TO HIM AND UNBOUND.
With no real explanation given, this kidnapped woman (Nika) keeps trying to have sex with Agent 47. He buys her a dress-for which she says "Wow, you're really charming when you're not killing people." Or stuffing them in trunks, apparently.
Finally, after he leaves her in a restaurant with no explanation to go kill several people, he then yanks her out of the place violently and they return to the hotel. Where she attempts (again) to screw his brains out. He finally escapes her by jamming a hypo full of sedatives into her neck.
Strangely, when she wakes up, she's not upset in the slightest.
Basically, this dude treats this woman like complete crap for the whole movie, and her response is to throw herself at him.
