    Was ok Ian Somerhalder has abotu a total of a half hour in it.
    He's kinda a Crazy one in this. He's one of the Assassins, but off his rocker

    The movie moves along, its 1 1/2 hours not the b...( read more)est but at least averagely entertaining.

    3 stars for fun factor and gratuitous violence. Not much to say, the plot is thin but doable, the action is over the top but effective, the gore is ridiculous and better than most horror films. Yeah, it deserves 3 stars, it flows and moves faster than a train with no brakes and h...( read more)as some entertainment value thanks to Ian Somerhalder as the maniac that Heath Ledger's Joker would have loved.

    "Every Ten Years The World's Greatest Assassins Gather ... Only One Will Survive"

    A decent enough if somewhat silly action movie totally spoilt by Cunningham's ridiculous accent. Dick van Dyke's cockney chimney sweep in Mary Poppins becomes a masterpiece by comparison. Lends little and takes away a lot. I hope he's not proud of it.

    That aside, the story gory moves along nicely. There's some lively action scenes well filmed and choreographed and accompanied by an adequate, if unsurprising soundtrack. Ving Rhames is as dependable as ever while Kelly Hu and Robert Carlyle add some depth to a relatively familiar storyline.

    It's by no means a must-see and I can see why, despite it's initial promise, it's gone straight to video. It is, however, a cut above many films that go down that route.

    Not terrible. But not good either. A few good fight scenes, but even they werent awesome. Probably not a waste of time for free, but I would caution on paying much to see it.

    I just finished watching this 5 minutes ago and it was pretty good but not the best. I t had plenty of action and shows some tits, but overall the plot was thin.

    Just like Condemned, only not as good.

    Grr lame. Too much uninteresting story time, too little fight sequences. Some cool moves every now and then, but overall not recommended. Too bad too, I had such hopes :P.

    Had the potential to be a really great action movie but thanks to too many plot holes and pure ridiculousness it falls way short.
