6. All The Audi Product Placement - Hitman: Agent 47
The Moment: Rarely do more than a few minutes go by in this movie without Agent 47 (Rupert Friend) or somebody else getting into an Audi vehicle and giving chase. Cue lots of shots that distractingly focus on the Audi emblem on either the front or back of the car and even on the steering wheel. Why It's Stupid: Because director Aleksander Bach is primarily a commercial director, and it really shows through here with how lovingly he presents the vehicles rather than putting some effort into making the best of what is, in fairness, a totally terrible script. If you tried to play a drinking game, taking a shot for every Audi logo that appeared in the movie, you'd be a corpse long before you even got half-way through. It's a prime example of money taking precedent over telling an entertaining story, and distracts from even the basic action thrills.
