Revenger

I think Michelle Rodriguez did a great job. Her attitude was that of a man, yet when she started stripping she still enticed!

The story line was interesting enough to keep watching and Sigourney did a great job with her superiority complex and cold confident statements.

~give change a chance.

Yay, another movie with two of my favorite female performers; Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver in the same movie. Actually, I had not read up about this movie prior to getting the chance to sit down and watch it. All that mattered was it was an action/thriller movie with two of the most talented and charismatic of female actresses in Hollywood.

"The Assignment" didn't fail to impress. Surely, the storyline was a bit offbeat, but that quickly seeped in and you get with the story and movie quickly enough. And it was rather surreal to see Michelle Rodriguez as a man in the beginning of the movie, but it was done so nicely that it actually looked quite real. Color me impressed.

Of course it is a bit redundant to mention that "The Assignment" had a really impressive cast ensemble. And even more needless is it to say that both Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver were really impressive in this movie. Rodriguez carried the action and butt-kicking part, while Weaver was superb in a deranged sort of diabolical doctor role. It was also nice to have both Tony Shalhoub and Anthony LaPaglia in the movie, despite having only supportive roles.

The story in "The Assignment" was good, although it could have been better with a bit more action. But of course, that is a matter of personal preference. There was a bit too much focus on the drama and storytelling for my liking, so of course I would have liked more action sequences.

"The Assignment" is an entertaining movie and I found it to be quite well worth sitting down to watch. However, truthfully, then I think that it is a movie that doesn't really have enough contents to sustain multiple viewings.

After waking up and discovering that he's been betrayed by gangsters (Anthony LaPaglia) and undergone gender reassignment surgery , an assassin (Michelle Rodriguez) aware he's been double crossed , then seeking to encounter the doctor responsible and at whatever cost . The hitman now a hitwoman sets out for vendetta against those who betrayed him , and he'll stop at nothing to get them , and eliminating one by one his enemies . Along the way , she is helped by a nurse named Johnnie (Caitlin Gerard) who also has dark secrets , too . One job changed it all !. A revenger's tale !. Payback's !.

Thriller crime containing unstopped action , betrayals galore , violent events , twists and turns . Lots of slam-bang action , shouting , swearing , shooting and there is graphic violence as well as other convenient elements with no much sense , at times it seems too similar to Hill's previous films . The Assignment (2016) is based on a story and script by Denis Hamill and director Walter Hill himself . The stars are pretty decent , but everything is predictable . Michelle Rodriguez provides a nice but unfriendly interpretation as an ace hired killer suddenly falling into the hands of rogue surgeon known as The Doctor who turns him into a woman. There are enough colourful roles in the support cast delivering acceptable acting, such as : Tony Shalhoub as a strange doctor , Anthony LaPaglia as a cunning mobster , Caitlin Gerard as the girl who aids the series killer , and brief performances from Ken Kirzinger , Darryl Quon , Adrian Hough , Caroline Chan, Paul McGillion and the great Sigourney Weaver giving the best acting .

It packs functional and atmospheric cinematography by cameraman James Liston . And moving and thrilling musical score by the veteran Giorgo Moroder and Raney Shockne . The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Walter Hill , though here he hasn't improved his previous thrillers , resulting in an intriguing but boring and tiring flick .The veteran craftsman Hill is a good writer , producer , filmmaker who has made a lot of films of all kinds of genres , working from late 60s , early 70s to nowadays . As he has directed action movies as Hard times , The driver , Southern comfort , The warriors , Extreme prejudice , 48 Hours , Another 48 hours , Last man standing , Johnny Handsome , Undisputed. Science fiction genre : Supernova . Western: Geronimo American legend , Wild Bill , Long riders . Comedy : Brewster's millions . Terror : Tales of the Crypt . Musical : Crossroads . The Assignment (2016) Rating 5/10. Average and inferior than others Walter Hill pics.

They should have had a man play the part of the male Frank Kitchen. Also should have voice-overed Michelle Rodriguez's voice. Her fake guy voice with accent sounded forced.

...then started to doze off. Came to look at the reviews before deciding if I should finish it, and they made my decision for me - not going to. Women playing men never works in movies. They try to adjust their voices, and it just sounds fake. And most don't walk anything like men, and the hips certainly don't lie. Also, the transition was far to unbelievable - it was basically instant. Other than that, the action wasn't particularly exciting. No idea where the story line on Weaver's character goes, but I lost interest and simply don't care. I doubt you will either.
