Assassination

About This Movie

So, "Assassination" is an interesting adaptation of Hesse's "Demian". It dives deep into this young man's internal struggle, like, really grappling with the surface level of society. The pacing, I’d say, is a bit slow at times but adds to that contemplative vibe. The atmosphere is thick with tension and introspection, which is nice. You’ve got some practical effects that are surprisingly effective, especially in the context of the film's themes. The performances are solid; the chemistry between the lead and Max Demian really drives the narrative. It’s distinctive in how it embraces that philosophical angle, really exploring the journey of self-discovery against societal norms. Worth a watch for those who appreciate more cerebral action dramas.

Intriguing philosophical themes.Solid practical effects for its time.Pacing may feel drawn out for some.
