Assassin Club

This has got to be one of the worst films of recent years. An absolutely incomprehensible plot line, awful acting and too many hacky action film cliches to count.

The cast is pretty respectable on paper, Noomi Rapace, Sam Neil, Henry Goulding. They should all immediately sack their agents for getting them involved in this absolute turd of a film.

The story line flips all over the place, with so many holes in it that it makes zero sense and the script is so corny it makes you cringe.

In some cases an average movie can be lifted by good action set pieces, but even those were average and all stuff that's been done a million times before.

In conclusion, this film has zero redeeming features, don't waste your time on it.

Sam Neil and Noomi Rapace are co-starring in supporting roles in this movie. Those 2 (once great) actors were the reason I started watching this movie. How disappointing it turned out to be...

The bad: despite the presence of these 2 (once great) actors, they both UNDER perform. Their screen presence is less than I hoped for and the real leading actor has got NO actor's charisma whatsoever.

What I feared it would be (an ordinary B-movie) turned out to be exactly that: a cheaply made copycat gangster movie that is severely lacking in any sort of thrill or suspense.

Not any good then? Some of the action scenes are solid. But those are few and even during those few action scenes lots of stupid credibility flaws made me cringe alot.

Recommended to be entirely avoided, even for Sam Neil or Noomi Rapace fans...

Dreadful. Badly cut. AWFUL SCRIPTING! A waste of talent. Could have been 10 out of 10 for Golding, Rapace and Neill, but this film lost its way hafl way through. Its clear Golding's career is failing fast, he looks wrecked. Not unlike Chris Pine' in his recent efforts. Neill is good, he was ill when he made this trash, but shines - bet he was glad to get his cheque and leave this utter dross hehind him . I hope Holding's career picks up, a few more stinkers and he's finished - get down to the gym mate, you've let yourself go big time, not good for 36! Disappointing, oh well! Better luck next time!

Teen Jonna is left an orphan after a masked assassin kills her father. Seven years later, assassin Morgan (Henry Golding) is working for Caldwell (Sam Neill). His target is a human trafficker, but another mystery assassin shoots him. His school teacher girlfriend Sophie (Daniela Melchior) is clueless to his real work. He's looking to retire, but Caldwell has a final contract. The new targets are six other assassins and real bad guys. Falk (Noomi Rapace) is a creepy-eyed blonde killer.

This is just another action thriller B-movie. Henry Golding doesn't really have the intensity to lead this type of movie. It tries to steer into his nice guy personality by emphasizing that his targets are all bad guys. It doesn't really seem sensible and Sam Neill is acting too suspicious. The setup is poor and the writing is generally weak. The movie has a lot of competent action, but that's all it has. It's not logical or even fun. This B-movie just lays there without anything compelling.

Being an unlimited viewing member I have seen most cinema releases, this film has few redeeming qualities. Henry Golding & Noomi Rapace made this an easy decision to give it a go, the trailer looked promising however, this film is like my local courier... (it fails to deliver) The direction is manic, I feel like he wanted to use every shot in the playbook! There were times I had to look away as the shots were starting to make my head hurt. And what is with Noomi's accent? Is she French? Or Southern state USA? This plot has more holes than a teabag. That being said if you don't mind spending your cash to see something mind numbing and don't care about the story or the characters then this probably the right film for you. Enjoy?
