Review of Assassination (1964) by Shawn W — 04 Mar 2016
Charles Bronson & Jill Ireland star in their final film together, this run of the mill action thriller from 1987.
The plot may be basic but it's a good enough one to build action sequences upon. Bronson is a secret service agent put in charge of the first lady's (Jill Ireland) protection detail as she becomes a target for assassination.
The film however has bad writing and is very sloppy made. Bronson's performance is wooden, & Ireland's comes off as extremely annoying. Jill Ireland was battling cancer when this was being filmed and it shows as she looks extremely drawn in.
A decent enough plot to build a good pace and decent action sequences make this an enjoyable film.
