    Truly unwatchable!!

    Don't even know where to start, really bad cinematography and terrible editing, some of the worst editing I have ever scene, some scenes and continuity do not make sense at all. If you think you saw the worst acting ever, just wait till you watch Stephanie Gerard!! I have seen lots of bad movies and bad acting but Truly this girl is the worst actress I have ever seen in my life, hands down. The rock music was so irritating! I have no idea who is giving Art Camacho money to make movies, this director is beyond awful really really bad, just look at his past work, the awfulness speaks all for itself. Best part of this movie was: Patrick Kilpatrick and Steven Dell and Nina Bergman too bad they weren't in this movie that much, but the director rather focused on Olivier Gruner who has no personality or charisma whatsoever and Stephanie Gerard, who takes bad acting to a whole other level, truly horrid. I saw this movie won some awards but then I did some research on the AOF, and found out the owner and Art Camacho Are close friends, and it is the same festival that gave Art an award for another awful movie called confession of a pit fighter, but that movie is not as bad as this one, not even close. so no wonder why they got these awards! Which this movie as bad as it is does not deserve any!

    Worst "acting" I've ever had to suffer through watching

    I honestly try to find the good in smaller budget action flicks like this, but this movie was SO BAD it was truly unwatchable.

    I agree with whoever commented above; the worst thing about the movie was the abysmally poor acting- especially the terrible performances by "actors" Steven Dell (Blaine) and Stephanie Gerard. I don't know if they are relatives of the producer or how in the world they convinced anyone to allow them to be on screen, much less paid to act? I mean the acting is so bad I could smell the stink through the screen.

    Dell seemed to just rely on flexing muscles and continuously looked lost and confused the entire time he was on screen. He was so ridiculous that it was distracting; while Nina Bergman (Trinidad) was over eager and theatrical- and almost as silly to watch. No reasonable effort was put into making a coherent story line or good camera work. And even less effort was put into bringing the characters to life. It seemed more like a group of adults playing an awkward game of dress up and make believe. These people should not be making movies they clearly have zero background in acting, nor any talent as actors.

    Action sequences were unrealistic, over-acted, dark and even hard to see (I mean physically see lol. Poor camera work) Plot "twists" were predictable and boring. This performance is the type where you feel insulted as an audience that people are trying to pass this off as a movie just to make a buck off you.

    I agree with the post above- no idea who is giving art Camacho money to make movies but pouring it into a lackluster script like this and into ridiculous actors like these is really wasteful. How wonderful if instead that money Was just given towards the arts for kids in underprivileged areas, or really to any cause other than this train wreck of a movie.

    Terrible

    There isn't much to say about this film, that's because there isn't much behind the coast's acting ability, fight scene training, or story writers. What a waste of everyone's time

    Review for Assassin x aka The Chemist

    Lackluster action movie with terrible direction. The overuse of slow mo, poor editing, flash backs you don't realize are flashbacks. Horrible acting , the female lead really hams it up in the face acting department . Gruner looks like he is sleep walking . However Patrick Kilpatrick makes for a good villain. Fight choreography is for the most part quite flat. A couple of OK if generic plot ideas and Kilpatrick's villain can't save it.

    For some reason it has a few seconds of pointless cameos in it for a seemingly unrelated scene. Overall it does have some so bad it's funny moments, but is completely forgettable 3/10
