It is actually what the trailer depicts that bothered me. It wasn't the gratuitous violence or blood, it wasn't even the fact that it was female assassins he was killing or the fact they were dressed in cliched latex swimsuits. What bothered me was the way he killed them.
Hitman has never been about charging right into the foray guns blazing, slaughtering half a dozen people (aside from the last act of Blood Money). The trailer showed none of the finesse and subtlety that's supposed to be 47's most important character trait.
