Assassin Club

Dreadful. Badly cut. AWFUL SCRIPTING! A waste of talent. Could have been 10 out of 10 for Golding, Rapace and Neill, but this film lost its way hafl way through. Its clear Golding's career is failing fast, he looks wrecked. Not unlike Chris Pine' in his recent efforts. Neill is good, he was ill when he made this trash, but shines - bet he was glad to get his cheque and leave this utter dross hehind him . I hope Holding's career picks up, a few more stinkers and he's finished - get down to the gym mate, you've let yourself go big time, not good for 36! Disappointing, oh well! Better luck next time!

This has got to be one of the worst films of recent years. An absolutely incomprehensible plot line, awful acting and too many hacky action film cliches to count.

The cast is pretty respectable on paper, Noomi Rapace, Sam Neil, Henry Goulding. They should all immediately sack their agents for getting them involved in this absolute turd of a film.

The story line flips all over the place, with so many holes in it that it makes zero sense and the script is so corny it makes you cringe.

In some cases an average movie can be lifted by good action set pieces, but even those were average and all stuff that's been done a million times before.

In conclusion, this film has zero redeeming features, don't waste your time on it.

This film is like the friend who's constantly trying to hit on someone, but always ends up coming up short.

Acting was bland, and at times, felt like many of the cast really didn't care to be there. The story and more accurately the writing was just awful.

After the first act I so wanted to stop watching, but I endured, and reluctantly kept going.

Shows me that Golding is not capable enough as a leading man, and the idea of him being the future 007 should be taken out of the conversations.

I almost feel bad for Sam Neill being in this movie.

Just my opinion, if you did enjoy it, good on you.

Being an unlimited viewing member I have seen most cinema releases, this film has few redeeming qualities. Henry Golding & Noomi Rapace made this an easy decision to give it a go, the trailer looked promising however, this film is like my local courier... (it fails to deliver) The direction is manic, I feel like he wanted to use every shot in the playbook! There were times I had to look away as the shots were starting to make my head hurt. And what is with Noomi's accent? Is she French? Or Southern state USA? This plot has more holes than a teabag. That being said if you don't mind spending your cash to see something mind numbing and don't care about the story or the characters then this probably the right film for you. Enjoy?

Hyper action/thriller movie about a young terrorist agent who kills people and subsequently seeking relentless revenge. Intriguing and suspenseful movie containing thrills, crosses, double-crosses, shootouts and spectacular action scenes. The plot is simple and plain, it is acceptable and passable at times; but eventually results to be predictable and delivers a 'deja vu´ sensation. The ordinary vengeance story carried out by a relentling young, who finds himself tangled in a deadly conspiracy, while attempting his redemption, but things goes wrong. An assassin, Morgan Ganes (Henry Golding who produced as well), is given a contract to kill seven people around the world only to discover the targets are also assassins who have been hired to kill him. Morgan was enlisted by his mysterious godfather Caldwell (Sam Neill) in a secret organization and he becomes a tough killer operative in Black Ops. Morgan has a beautiful girlfriend, Sophie (Daniela Melchior) with whom he is deeply in love and who pushes him to lead a quiet life and get married, so she gets pregnant. He wants to retire to a settled life, but Morgan is mercilessly chased by two stubborn police inspectors, Agent Vos (Noomi Rapace) and Leon (Jimmy Jean-Louis). Ganes chasing a terrorist cell, and repares to take his vengeance on the mysterious murderers responsible for previous massacre. Agent Vos having secured an invitation to meet him face to face, confronts Morgan.

'Assassin Club' contains suspense, noisy action-packed, intrigue , thrills , shootouts, twists, turns and loads of violence. The film is incredible, action starts and doesn't finish until ending title, there're several shootouts causing a horrible carnage. This is a so-so thriller with strong violence, plot twists, turns, breakneck action-packed and a finale filled with double-crosses, greed and vendetta. The plot is plain and simple, the typical contract killer who wants to get out of the dirty business but things get worse when he tries to leave his bloody past behind, an ordinary theme we have already seen much better in other films.

This Assassin Club (2023) bears certain resemblance to ¨American Assassin¨ and ¨John Wick¨, taking parts here and there. An action thriller directed by Camille Delamarre that adapts the ideas from a well-known and overused script by Thomas Dunn. What results from this unoriginal and convoluted story is all rather poor, though the idea isn't bad, but it is plenty of clichés. Henry Golding's special achievement, giving a passable work , attempting to incorporate his own personal obsessions about international terrorist organizations and producing the film too, along with co-star Noomi Rapace. Noomi Rapace has become herself an expert heroine in various thrillers, action and suspense movies, such as : Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows , Rupture , Stockholm, The drop (2014) , Child 44 (2015) , Unlocked (2017) , What Happened to Monday (2017). Together with Henry Golding and Noomi Rapace showing up various nice actors completing the cast, as the film includes the following: Daniela Melchior, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Sam Neill, Anastasia Doaga, Claudio Del Falco, Gabriele Rossi, among others .

It displays a colorful cinematography by cameraman Matthew Chuang, shot on various European locations in Turín, Piazza Navona, Roma , Italy , Lisboa, Portugal, London, England. As well as thrilling and pulsing musical score by Alexandre Azaria. The motion picture was mediocrely but professionally directed by Camille Delamarre and what now ensues is generally weak and nothing new to watch here. Filmmaker Camille Delamarre (Brick Mansions, Transporter legacy, The Way, Into the night, Cannes Confidential) gives the action a dance-like quality and the whole movie lasted various months for production, idea, script, casting, filming, etc. Rating: 4.5/10. Passable and acceptable, though inferior action movie. The picture will appeal to explosive action fans .
