Assassin

Bruce Willis only has some 20 minutes of screentime. He does act well. But the rest of this movie is a big flop.

The bad: this story is nonsensical gibbledigook ridiculous. Dont even try to understand it (although I did try), it wont matter.

More bad: there are lots of B-movie actors starring, that aint terrible, but completely lacking in charisma.

It's a proven tactic to put Bruce Willis' his face on the poster, so this movie will garner some attention or even sell some tickets to folks (mistakingly) expecting to see a Bruce Willis movie. Which it is not.

Not any good? I have seen ALL of Bruce Willis' movies, even the many lesser ones, but this one does compete for the prize of one of the worst movies Willis has ever starred in.

This movie is a disappointing, bewildering experience that left me scratching my head. The film's plot is an incomprehensible tangle, and its characters are so poorly developed that it's difficult to invest any emotion in their outcomes. Simply put, Willis' latest effort is a chaotic, unwatchable mess.

The movie aims to weave a complex narrative, but it fails spectacularly. The plot is so convoluted and disjointed that following it feels like trying to put together a thousand-piece puzzle with no picture on the box.

Bruce Willis, whose acting chops are usually a saving grace in even the most lackluster of films, appears to be phoning it in here. His performance is wooden and uninspired, making it impossible to become invested in his character's journey. The rest of the cast doesn't fare much better, as the underdeveloped characters are mere caricatures rather than fully realized individuals.

The dialogue is clunky and full of clichés, and it does little to clarify the convoluted plot. The characters' motivations remain murky at best, and it's hard to care about their fates when they're so poorly fleshed out. The film's pacing is another issue, as it lurches from one confusing scene to another, never giving the audience a chance to catch their breath or make sense of the chaos unfolding on screen.

In the end, Assassin is a frustrating and disorienting experience that fails to deliver any semblance of a coherent story or engaging characters. It's a sad addition to Bruce Willis' filmography and one that's best left forgotten. If you're looking for a thrilling action movie, look elsewhere - this one misses the mark by a long shot.

Can't believe such a movie was actually thought to be something. This was horrible. I can't even explain it. Nothing was gripping or intense about this movie. Total waste of money and screen time. The acting was just average. To much over dramatization from Alexa. Like really, an ice bath? It's like someone recreating the Matrix but falling short. This is even more sad because this is Willis's last movie. To go out with such a flop is appalling. This was horrible. No way to sugar coat it or give credit. Willis was only good for the marketing I guess. Anyway, we know it's hard these days to make movies because almost every idea has been put out already. But this? This was just nonsensical.

Alexa (Nomzamo Mbatha) is angry that her drone pilot husband is somehow in a coma after a mission. Valmora (Bruce Willis) reveals that he leads a secret experimental program which commandeers unsuspecting victims and turning them into assassins. They are being hunted by a rival group with the same tech. Alexa has to take the place of her husband in order to take down Adrian (Dominic Purcell).

Apparently, this is the last Bruce Willis film. The character isn't doing much other than be the mercurial boss. The camera is able to fake it well enough. The idea is fine sci-fi material. The execution could be better and it fades over time. It's a B-movie of limited ability. It's actually better than I expected, but that's not saying much.

This was a multi genre mess, listed as a combination of Action, Crime, Thriller with Sci-fi. The action was cheesy, the crime was lame, there were no thrills, and an automotive disc brake, a laptop, and a bathtub may be the funniest and cheapest props ever used in the history of filmmaking to pass off as sci-fi. They may as well have used an empty shipping box and drawn-on dials with a magic-marker.

The directing - especially cast direction, was horrible, but the writing was even worse, with ideas taken from many other films that were all done much better. The story was dull, lazy, convoluted and riddled with plot and technical issues. It full of eye-rolls and cringeworthy moments, and the normally comfortable 88 min runtime dragged on endlessly with the slow pacing and lame narrative.
