Assassin

This is not a good movie.

I did not expect much, so I was pleasantly surprised with a less usual story and nice ending.

Assassin is a sci-fi action thriller that fails to have any thrilling action and just has such a rushed story that was barely thought out to make sense. This movie stars Bruce Willis, Dominic Purcell, Nomzamo Mbath in the main roles and they all are great with what they are given, but the writing and story development is just soo bad that it makes it hard to enjoy these actors in their roles, especially since this is Bruce Willis's last performance. Overall, Assassin is a movie that should've been killed off in pre-production. D-

Ridiculous flop Bruce Willis doesn't have much screen time

Overly complicated and interwoven without the actors that can pull it off. Wooden is the word

I hope Bruce Willis made enough money to last because this was a real stinker. Silly plot, mediocre acting and a twist that looked like they purchased it on sale.

Not gonna bash the film like everyone else so hear me out. Was it the best sci-fi? No. Was it completely original? No. But I can say that the ending was very good, had an amazing twist and that weird aspect to the very very end of the film before credits. I love sci-fi and I get tired of the same old plot and plot twists, while this concept was not complexly original (as most films) it did have a lot of concepts I had not seen in modern sci-fi. The beginning was very dragged out and I felt a lot of it could have been cut on the chopping block honestly. With that said, a lot of it was very crucial for the twist at the end. So I'll give it a bit of grace. The emotion from the women in this film was riveting and I don't use that word every often lol. It was raw and compelling and I felt for not only the protagonist but also the assistant. She understood how destroying the program was and seeing her show quiet signs of fear and mental struggle was very heart warming and real to me. As someone who cries in private a lot but keeps a brave face on I felt her so much. The protagonist, she is not some bad a super woman, I loved seeing her fail, make mistakes, get her butt beat, lol etc etc. again realism. And as stated above I felt the twist at the end was more devistating because it showed that he could have coexisted with Adrian as the girls did. But idk if that would have been cool with Adrian lol. I really want to go in more depth but I'm trying not to leave spoilers. I'm sorry I'm not the type to EXPECT anything from a film but a good story and some twists and turns. I love sci-fi and short films I prefer over Hollywood and the comments are showing many prefer Hollywood over indie. This film no matter that Bruce Willis was in it felt very indie and I loved that feel. It wasn't riddled with a bunch of bs. Slow start but definitely great middle and bombastic ending.

Jesse Atlas' Assassin is a movie that, sadly, only stands out for being the last film in which Bruce Willis appears on screen, as the actor has been struggling with aphasia and is no longer able to act convincingly. Despite the questionable ethics of Willis continuing to act in low-budget action films in this condition, the truth is that these movies are generally terrible, even if Willis were still in his prime. In his later career, Willis is reduced to standing around and delivering stilted dialogue, with the action sequences being equally uninspired and bland. Assassin tries to do things differently by using Willis as a minor supporting character and centering the story on Andy Allo's Mali, a Cameroonian-born singer and actress who tries to recover game-changing military technology from career criminal Adrian (played by Dominic Purcell). Unfortunately, the movie is a mess that doesn't even attempt to break any of its own sci-fi rules, failing to explain anything about how the military personnel in the film are able to take over some people's bodies but not others. It's also unclear why they can't just get close enough to the people they need to take over to find the device themselves, and why they need to go through the trouble of taking over someone else's consciousness. Overall, Assassin is a forgettable and dumb movie, and despite Willis' unfortunate situation, it's hard to recommend it. While the Die Hard movies serve as a reminder of Willis' past excellence, this movie is a sad end to a once-great acting career.

This was a good ride, not overly complicated, so it was easy to get into it yet thought-provoking enough to provide some escapism! Well acted and directed too.

It was a stylish movie, with an intriguing story that held your interest. Always great to see Bruce Willis, as always, he brings the charm and gravitas. You care about the characters - great acting. And high production value.
