From a film review:

'And it's this idolization and elevation of a brutal killer that is Hitman's ugliest dividend—even more so than its thickly spread sexuality, nudity and obscenity. For some reason America keeps lapping up entertainment featuring antiheroes who do whatever it takes to reach their goals, then face no consequence for their inhumane actions.

It's a disquieting trend. Hollywood screenwriters, actors and directors may not think they're lionizing killers. (Why would they want to?) But that's essentially what they're doing. And all too often we end up reaping what they sow.'
