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?

Average (at best) CGI, acting, script, and dialog. There are a few decent scenes but only finished watching it because I was invested enough to see how it ends (and I like Sam Neill).

One scene epitomizes the quality and logic of the movie ... the protagonist runs to and escapes in an ambulance (the scene leading to this is equally poorly done). As he is running there are at least 15 trained gunmen with automatic weapons shooting as he stops at the door of the ambulance yelling at the drive to get out, then opens the door and pulls him out. And of course nobody hits him.

As he drives off there are now at least 25 people shooting at him with automatic weapons, heavy arms, and pistols from all directions - including a trained assassin who is an expert marksman. This is a thin walled ambulance with large windows all around the driver that is hit by hundreds of rounds. Yet not a single one even comes close to hitting him, one of the oxygen tanks, or any of the other flammable items on the ambulance.

This continues as 6 or 7 vehicles chase the ambulance while continuing to fire. And they must be really bad shots because the number of holes appearing in the ambulance is only a small percentage of the number of shots fired.

While were at it - didn't anyone at all during all of this think to shoot at one of the tires?

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!
