Review of Assassins (1995) by Deb S — 01 Mar 2010

Sylvester Stallone stars as Robert Rath an assassin who wants to retire and has principles. He ends up protecting Electra (Julianne Moore) from a rival psychopathic assassin (Antonio Banderas) who is an ambitious young rookie, wanting to be at the top and willing to take Stallone out of the picture.

I love action movies but whereas the first sequence is clever and thrilling; the film just couldn't keep that up. Reminds me of "The Specialist" but without the steamy bathroom scene!
