Timothy Olyphant likes to compare this videogame adaptation, which finds his genetically engineered assassin a marked man, to John Woo's The Killer. ''It's almost like making a movie about traveling salesmen. There's a sadness to these characters. You're the best at what you do, but it's a very lonely existence.'' And a violent one. ''We shot a lot of people in this movie,'' the Deadwood vet says. ''Hopefully in that tradition of John Woo: violence with some elegance and beauty to it.''
