Assassin (2015)

Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Simply Perfect

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I like Danny dyer but in this film the whole cast were p**spoor this is by far the worst action film i have ever seen in my entire life. The story line... actually what the hell was the story line i think the film could have been a lot better with dyer and the Kemp brothers. I didn't get to the end because i remembered i have better things to do with my life but if it is in any way similar to the rest of the film i don't really care. I watched this film on Sky Cinema and i deleted it 45 minutes later after declaring it the worst assassin film i have ever watched. The director should have won the razzing for worst action film ever. By the way i wouldn't let someone on death row watch this as they would umber to the electric chair

Sometimes in video games or animation there will be poor dubber who phones it in, they sound very lazy or are probably just in the bathroom reading some paper. It's a truly rare case where an actor of a movie does this, the leading role even, in a perfectly soulless manner. The lead Danny Dyer just stands there muttering some lines with the expression range of one who suffers Botox overdose. Other theories include unworldly possession or he might just be a robot, that would be far more fascinating.Jamie (Danny Dyer) is a poker-faced hit-man. One day he meets with a woman who turns out to be involved with his work. There is little acting to speak of, some supporting characters are decent, but almost the entirety of the movie is spent on looking at Jamie looking at nothing. He looks the same when he kills people, engages in small talk or meets the love of his life. Audiences at home are probably more vivid as they react to the unbearable stiff acting.Visual is bizarre, the camera seems to be shifting from side to side for no reason. It would shuffle slightly to the back of the head when normal conversations occur or wobble from behind some object. There's also plenty of running or riding bike, which is fine to create atmosphere, but it feels unnecessary after the twelfth time. The script is so abrupt and random, it doesn't even explain basic plot clearly let alone convince the audiences that it has authentic relationship.Soundtrack is a repetitive humming theme throughout the movie, and at times it blasts the volume for screaming scenes. People, especially girl characters, would scream so zealously in hope to prevent audience from sleeping through. Action is nearly non-existent. Forget about choreography, Assassin only stands there, equally rigid, and fires away. No stunts or believable motion like taking cover.There is no aspect of this movie that isn't severely flawed. Beware, Assassin will kill your time. That pun is as cringe-worthy as the movie.

I went for this movie due to the IMDb rating at that time. It was around a 6-7 and I thought to myself, lets give it a go.I wont give out any spoilers but this movie was just bad. I don't understand how any producer, actor etc can go through this process and think YESSS lets bring this out..The acting was appalling, the sound and music was that of a bad soft-porn flick, the character build up was none existing and the storyline simple, dumb and frustrating.Its just a shame.. I was not anticipating on a great movie, but perhaps just something entertaining and OK would have been more then fine.. sadly it was just a waste of time.

Begins well. Unfortunately the first 5 minutes or so are the absolute highlight. I watched this film mere hours ago and it is already beginning to fade from memory. Admittedly there were no real "cringe" scenes in which i believed the acting or dialogue or cinematography to be horrible yet nothing stood out about it. In my mind, the greatest films are the ones you can not only remember, but take something away from the "experience" of watching them. This film was the opposite. I expect to have forgotten it by the time i wake up tomorrow.Final Advice: Watch only if your intention is to pass time (procrastinate) and you have no real interest or expectation of this movie.LJ
