Assassins

About This Movie

‘Assassins’ has this gritty, almost claustrophobic feel that really pulls you into the world of hired guns. Richard Donner does a solid job creating tension, especially in those early scenes; the atmosphere is thick, and the stakes are immediately clear. The pacing keeps you engaged, even as Rath, played by Sylvester Stallone, wrestles with his conscience over a life of violence. You can really sense the weight of his past choices. The practical effects during the action sequences add a rawness that feels right for the genre, and Antonio Banderas's performance as the psychotic rival, Miguel Bain, brings a frenetic energy that contrasts nicely with Stallone’s more measured approach. It's a film that explores the moral complexities of its characters amid the chaos of their trade.
