Assassin

About This Movie

So, Assassin (2020) is this intriguing drama-thriller that really dives deep into the psyche of a killer. The tone is quite somber, and it has this almost haunting atmosphere, thanks to the way the narrative unfolds. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for those moments of introspection that make you think about his deconstructed past and the choices that led him here. The use of Alan Dunnett’s poem adds a unique layer, giving it a somewhat lyrical quality. It’s not heavy on flashy effects, but what it lacks in that department, it makes up for with raw performances that really draw you into his internal struggle. It's distinctive in its approach to storytelling, focusing on the character's emotional landscape rather than just the action.
