Lessons for an Assassin

All I can say about this film is that it appeared to have been filmed in someone's loft or an abandoned building. It also looks as if the budget mainly went to Shannon Lee and Michael Dorn and left nothing for the actual production itself. Avoid this film like the plague.

~DC~

Being a movie buff as well as a martial artist for over 20 years I really liked this film. It is great to see the Lee legacy live on in a very beautiful woman such as Shannon Lee. The film not only had a lot of good martial arts sequences, but there are actually Jeet Kune Do martial art moves and techniques in this movie that only Bruce Lee used when he taught his students!

Robert Vitelli gives an authentic and strong performance in his lead role as Gavin Mathews and is obviously a very experienced martial artist as well.

I think anyone watching this film will enjoy the plots twists and turns as well as some kick butt action sequences!

This is the first movie where I have actually felt the urge to ask for

my rental money back, and those of you who know me as former IMDB poster

El Buncho know that I am no stranger to bad movies. This film was simply

that bad.

First of all, I rented this because Shannon Lee (Bruce's little girl,

who is now a serious hottie) is top billed and featured on the box.

Sure, she hasn't made any good films yet, but hope springs eternal. She

has talent, but she needs a script! And she really has very little to do

with the film. This is unfortunately a starring vehicle for Robert

Vitelli (who???), a charisma-free void of a non-actor whose martial

skills are marginal at best. Films that purport to be martial arts films

should at least be able to deliver on the butt-kicking, but this will

make the viewer want to do a bit of butt-kicking on their own (directed

at most of the people involved in this mess).

The plot is a convoluted ripoff of "La Femme Nikita" with Vitelli in the

Nikita role, and the incredibly uninvolving story just lurches along

until it reaches a ludicrous twist ending. And we also are treated to

appearances by two Star Trek actors: Michael "Worf" Dorn and the guy who

plays Dr. Phlox on "Enterprise."

And the final kick in the mouth is that this DVD bears the blasphemous

tag-line "Bruce Lee's legacy lives on." I'm not even related to the guy,

and I was offended for the entire Lee family! Avoid this at all costs;

there is simply no entertainment to be found

I knew when I picked up the box that it would be a pretty bad movie. Still, I wanted to see Shannon Lee and the movie having Michael Dorn in it looked like it could be a sleeper. It wasn't...

Shannon Lee and Michael Dorn did a good job with what they were given. The rest of the movie was pretty bad. I won't repeat what has already been said by others. They put it pretty well.

I can see why the actors made the movie. It's easy for me to imagine reading the script and thinking that it had the potential to be better than it turned out to be. Too bad...

If you like Shannon Lee, you may not be too disappointed with this movie. I'm glad that I picked it up, but wouldn't watch it again.

I had a coupon for a free movie rental and the movie looked like it might be interesting. I wish I could get my free rental coupon back. I would rather have watched "Battlefield Earth" again.
