So how much did STB pay with our money to sponsor this film?
The Hitman: Agent 47 reviews are in, and everybody hates it

The new Hitman movie, Hitman: Agent 47, isn't very good. At least that's what critics' early reviews of the film, in theaters tomorrow, are saying. And though the reviews differ on the details of what precisely was most offensive about this adaptation, there's an underlying theme to most critiques: it's hollow, and plastic.
"All of its materials feel utterly and depressingly synthetic, right down to the most basic ingredients of almost any violent B-grade action movie: cars, blood, and fire, which all get the bad-CGI treatment," writes Jesse Hassenger of The AV Club.
"It’s fair to conclude that while Aleksander Bach’s directing debut is indeed the junky, incoherent shoot-’em-up we feared it might be, to dismiss it as just another late-August studio craptacular doesn’t quite do it justice. But what to call it, exactly? The 47th best action film of 2015? A feature-length Audi commercial, or a promo reel for the Singapore Tourism Board?" asks Justin Chang, of Variety.

Singapore lands leading role in Hollywood film Hitman: Agent 47

SINGAPORE — For the first time in recent history, many of Singapore’s famous landmarks will be featured prominently in a Hollywood studio movie. The Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, The Arts House (former Parliament House), The Supreme Court, The Art Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands and The Singapore Flyer can all be seen clearly in the trailer and poster of Twentieth Century Fox’s upcoming action thriller Hitman: Agent 47.
Said Hitman:Agent 47’s Executive Producer Michael Hendrickson: “An epic, action film like “AGENT 47” demands a global scale. To be the first American studio film to present this truly unique locale as a backdrop is an incredible opportunity. The Singapore Media Development Authority (MDA) was supportive, from our initial visit to Singapore, all the way through to completion of production. Combined with the terrific, enthusiastic local crew, Singapore was a success for our film.”
