Review of Assassins (1995) by Tom T — 16 Nov 2010
What starts off as an action film with good potential, Assassins ends up crashing and burning. Stallone plays an aging assassin who is coming to the end of his violent career, but before retiring with a rich fortune the hunter becomes the hunted as a younger and more volatile assassin (Banderas)interferes with his plans.
For about 20 minutes the film is entertaining and Banderas is quality, but the appalling plot and dodgy script pisses all over the film's good parts. Which is a shame because the two main characters have a pretty good chemistry going on.
Assassins is one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen, and its ending isn't great either. Just watch the first 20 minutes and then turn off!
