Silent Assassins - Lautlose Killer

The actors in this are all really good actors and they also do a good job in this, the problem is the movie they are doing is not written or directed great.

You will recognize a lot of the actors but like a lot of these movies that have big casts with a lot of recognizable names it's like they assume that's enough and that they don't need to worry about the other aspects of the movies like the writing and directing because they already have all the star power they would need to draw in audience and make money.

That's really all it comes down to is money, and I'm sure with the star power this movie made money they just didn't worry about it being an Oscar winner or anything :)

(2013) Assassin's Run CRIME THRILLER

Misleading poster, misleading genre that may have been result of budget cuts. You look at the poster, presuming the star Christian Slater and the other guy standing next to him are going after some bad guys, and then when you watch it, it is nothing more what one can see on the poster. Anyways, because I had seen so many movies before this, even after using the fast forward button on some scenes, I was still be able to determine what happened as the movie itself is full of double crosses and double dealings.

The set up has subliminal images of a woman tortured and so forth during the credits, and then that same women is now being questioned by a police officer, and she begins by telling him a story. It is during then we are then see a wife, Maya (Sofya Skya) performing on a stage while daughter, Nina look on while her husband, an American oil tycoon in Russia, Michael Mason (Christian Slater) is missing his wife's ballet performance while stuck in a traffic jam. While waiting he is then receives a threatening phone call about his oil fortune and he chooses to ignore it.

Decent actors horribly miscast in Movie trying to be more than it ever can be.

Plot: Company owner (Christian Slater) is in danger of losing his business to jealaous competitors in Russia. His wife, a swan lake ballet dancer, must turn once again from a duckling to a swan to say alive.

Though the Movie has a cool title, potentially good and renowned actors and on the surface a descent plot it turns out to be really crappy. A would be late night B-Movie turns into art-house action bottom shelf dust collector. It tries too hard to be something it is not: the script is amateurish and feeble, and it is too obvious that the writer is trying to keep the Viewer interested by using amateur-like methods.

Cole Houser, Angus MacFadyen and Christian Slater deserves and can do better, I guess they too suffer from bad economy like us normal folks.

I give 3 out of 10, if your sleeping pills do not work...see this Movie.

Did I read that right? "Does what ever she can using her skills at ballet," I'm sorry, i have complete and utter respect for the training and discipline ballet dancers go through. But without any formal Martial Arts training ballet would be about as affected as putting out a fire with rubbing alcohol. No vote for I will not be seeing this one. You can set this one next to Gym-kata for worst skills to mix with kung-fu. And the shameless use of Christian Slater as a star to get people to see the movie is reprehensible. Has he fallen so low that he has to use whatever crap that comes along to get some airtime?? oh wait... Oh yeah, Hollow Man II...

This film essentially begins with a businessman by the name of "Michael Mason" (Christian Slater) being informed that an enormous sum of money has suddenly disappeared and that there are those in the Russian mafia who want to get their hands on it. So, after their threatening phone calls to Michael fail to get them what they want, they kill him under the mistaken assumption that his wife "Maya Letiniskaya" (Sofya Skya) knows where the money is being hidden. To that effect, they then plant some drugs in her home and, after a quick trial, use their sources within the prison system to compel her to talk. They also kidnap her child to gain even more leverage as well. What they don't realize, however, is that, having endured everything they can throw at her, Maya is not in a talking mood and is now determined to get revenge--one way or the other. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film had a certain amount of potential but, the longer the film progressed, the more unrealistic it became--and I eventually lost interest in it. Admittedly, there were some good parts to this movie. Unfortunately, they weren't good enough to overcome some of the other less-inspired scenes and I have rated this accordingly. Slightly below average.
