Charles Bronson gives us here almost a light interpretation. He is the chief bodyguard of the wife of the president of the USA. Of course she hates him. And of course some people try to assassinate him several times. Without revealing the evolution of the story, we can say that we are in the conventional and nothing surprises. Even the identity of the chief villain, which the typecasting designates from its first appearance.
The action sequences, which come at regular intervals, are on the level of a TV movie from the 70s, anemic, unspectacular, lazy and poor. There is a clear lack of means and these action sequences look like DIY (at the time CGI porn was not widespread) without much success. But fortunately, the film is not there, but in the acting of Charles Bronson, who apart from his usual cop character has here a romantic dimension with two courtesans. The first, his colleague, Jan Gan Boyd, is ostentatious, even if this relationship is not very credible, but remains plausible, which finally provides some density to the whole. The second, with the president, played by Jill Ireland (whose dimension as Charles Bronson's wife in the city is impossible to ignore), which will evolve in the course of the story. Charles Bronson manages to have multiple facial expressions.

I just saw this movie and the beginning started out pretty good and kind of funny between Ireland and Bronson. Just let you all know that I believe that Jill will go lethal with the shoe she had on if you mess with her so DON'T. But then at the middle of the movie, it had ups and downs. The first thing about it is that most of the action scenes go a little too fast and some of the non-action scenes go little fast too but other wise, the film is pretty good. Just to let you know that this is the last film that Charles and Jill are together and still do good being together in this film and I hope you you all enjoy the film.
I give this a 7/10

Let me start by saying that Charles Bronson is one of my favorite actors and I think my mom found this one on VHS at a flea market back in 2015.
This movie is honestly pretty good, it's entertaining if not a little corny in places but I love it anyway.
Charles is a bad ass action hero in these action movies I'm a fan of his Death Wish films I haven't seen him in a lot but I'm planing on trying to find more with him.
I like in this story that he plays a secret service agent hired to protect the First lady who he doesn't really like, that I feel is a nice change of pace, then your typical standard story, it made for some nice levels of comedy.
Overall, I give it a 6/10. It's just a fun action film that you can sit back enjoy, and see
Charles Bronson kick some terrorist ass.
Highly recommended.

I loved this Movie out of all Charles Bronson did. I think he and Jill Ireland were so neat in this together. I liked any movie they did together. I don't believe this was given enough credit. They just semed to fit in the parts together. I was truly saddened when Jill died and even more so with his passing. But at least we have the movies to watch which I never tire of seeing.
Assassination (1987)
** (out of 4)
Charles Bronson fans are the only ones who should even attempt to make it through this outrageously stupid film from Cannon. Bronson plays a Secret Service agent who ends up having to guard an ultra-snotty First Lady (Jill Ireland) and soon enough a group of hit men are after her. I'll never accuse any Cannon/Bronson movie of being high art but of all the films they made together this one here has to be the dumbest. In fact, I might go even further and call this the dumbest action movie of the decade and that reason alone almost makes this turkey worth sitting through. As a Bronson fan I must admit that I can just about sit through anything that he's in but my patience are really tested here but thankfully the film reaches a "so bad it's entertaining" level. There are about fifteen major illogical points that could be thrown at this film but that would take way too much effort to write out and I'm sure most people could write a book worth of dumb things that the characters do here. I must admit it's rather funny seeing a Secret Service agent and the First Lady jump from one cheap motel to another and going from one small town to the next and it never really being clear why they don't just have more security with them. There are countless times you'll be scratching your head as to why the agent just keeps the First Lady in constant danger but I doubt the screenwriters were really worried about logical points as their main concern was getting to the next item to blow up. The action scenes here are pretty weak and campy as is the PG-rated violence. I've heard this wasn't originally meant for Bronson but he took it just so he could be in another film with his wife (this would be their last together). The two are charming enough together even though it's pretty clear neither are giving it their all. The supporting players don't fair much better but I doubt anyone will be tuning in to see them. If you're not a fan of Bronson then it's best you stay far away from this unless you just like corny action pictures.

- CuriosidadesThe original love scene between Bronson and Jan Gan Boyd called for Boyd to be partially nude, but Boyd wasn't confident she could perform the scene and was nervous. Although contracted to be nude, Boyd asked the producers if she could do the scene clothed. They agreed because she had the support of star Bronson, who was adamant she be clothed if she was not comfortable.
