Truly awful

There is 102 minutes of wasted time, that I will never see again!

It is not that often that I feel compelled to write a review, but this is undoubtedly the crappiest action movie I have seen in decades. Assassin X makes all the later Steven Seagal, Dolph Lundgreen and JC Van Damme movies seem like Oscar worthy epic movies.

In Assassin X we are graced with a whole slew of unknown actors and the result speaks for itself. Not only is the acting dreadful, one could find better and more gifted actors by throwing a dart at any local community theater anywhere in the country, but the script is a total dud.

The story line did have potential but for whatever reason the script just isn't well executed and so the whole movie took a nosedive.

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

I agree its a trash movie.

But I don't blame any of the actors. The producer and director should have thrown this out once they read the script.so that pretty much tells me of their skill in making this a movie. I've seen worse movies but I don't remember what they were, this would certainly rank with the ultimate bottom. No sense in wasting anymore of my time with this review.

Goofs
Olivier takes a large caliber bullet in the left shoulder early in the long set of climactic battles. Yet he still fights a slew of bad guys hand-to-hand the rest of the night, without any treatment for the wound or signs of impairment while in engaged in a slew of heated slugfests.
