Assassin Club

The movie lacks substance - which I was only expecting due to the high rating this movie has been offered here. The characters are underdeveloped, and the storyline is predictable. The movie attempts to create an air of mystery and intrigue, but fails to deliver. The characters are one-dimensional, and it is difficult to empathize with any of them. The dialogue is weak, and the movie relies heavily on its action sequences to carry it through.

Additionally, some scenes in Assassin Club defy all logic. It is difficult to suspend disbelief when some of the characters' actions or their outcomes seem improbable, if not impossible.

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?

Sam Neil and Noomi Rapace are co-starring in supporting roles in this movie. Those 2 (once great) actors were the reason I started watching this movie. How disappointing it turned out to be...

The bad: despite the presence of these 2 (once great) actors, they both UNDER perform. Their screen presence is less than I hoped for and the real leading actor has got NO actor's charisma whatsoever.

What I feared it would be (an ordinary B-movie) turned out to be exactly that: a cheaply made copycat gangster movie that is severely lacking in any sort of thrill or suspense.

Not any good then? Some of the action scenes are solid. But those are few and even during those few action scenes lots of stupid credibility flaws made me cringe alot.

Recommended to be entirely avoided, even for Sam Neil or Noomi Rapace fans...

Teen Jonna is left an orphan after a masked assassin kills her father. Seven years later, assassin Morgan (Henry Golding) is working for Caldwell (Sam Neill). His target is a human trafficker, but another mystery assassin shoots him. His school teacher girlfriend Sophie (Daniela Melchior) is clueless to his real work. He's looking to retire, but Caldwell has a final contract. The new targets are six other assassins and real bad guys. Falk (Noomi Rapace) is a creepy-eyed blonde killer.

This is just another action thriller B-movie. Henry Golding doesn't really have the intensity to lead this type of movie. It tries to steer into his nice guy personality by emphasizing that his targets are all bad guys. It doesn't really seem sensible and Sam Neill is acting too suspicious. The setup is poor and the writing is generally weak. The movie has a lot of competent action, but that's all it has. It's not logical or even fun. This B-movie just lays there without anything compelling.
