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

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.

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

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!

Assassin Ronus Steele (Oliver Gruner) - aka The Chemist - uses poison to terminate his targets. He refuses to terminate a very pretty Gabriela (Stephanie Gerard) who he has fallen for. What to do? What to do? Ronus is ordered to take on Blaine (Stephen Dell) a young assassin who needs to lose his loose-canon ways.

This movie became better when Ronus meets Gabriela as the photography and dialogues made more sense then, and we had opportunity to understand what was going on. Prior to that meeting we got a jumble of flashbacks, confusing choreography, a jumpy camera and dialogues we couldn't make out. The beginning of this movie was a mess to put it bluntly and we had no idea what was going on with these numerous flashbacks, who the hero was (we didn't know about Oliver Gruner), and many darkened scenes that assumed we knew what this was all about. We had no clue.

We were waiting for Ronus' rules for an assassin to live by and we were not disappointed as he gave them to Blaine. I just love it when an assassin gives out these rules and we usually find out he cannot live up to them as the story continues. But not in here. Not this time. Ronus lives by these rules and doesn't violate them.

Blaine picks up Trinidad (Nina Bergman) who is most enamored with Blaine being an assassin and even goes on missions with him. What's not to like? (Yeah, she's a keeper)

There is pretty good action choreography later on, and there is a twist I am sure most of us saw coming. We were afraid of this twist and were hoping we were wrong. But we were not wrong. (Bummer)

I was not familiar with Oliver Gruner and I am sure we will see him in other Action-Hero type movies as he did a great job. (5/10)
