Advantages: Reasonable acting from respected cast
Disadvantages: Predictable. It's been done before

Reading elsewhere about this movie, The Assassin, you’ll see that there’s a raft of opinion that it was “a film too far”, having already been made by Luc Besson under the title “Nikita”. Having not seen Nikita, here’s my view. I just bought this movie on DVD, (having seen it somewhere that excapes me in the recent past), luckily for only £7.99 (good old www.play247.com!). And, yes, there it is in the opening ...
...version, subtitled The Point of No Return, and stars Bridget Fonda in the title role, her mentor at the “mysterious undercover agency” is Gabriel Byrne (Defence Of The Realm, Usual Suspects), Anne Bancroft is her personal etiquette trainer, and Harvey Keitel plays a particularly nasty piece of work of a “cleaner”, i.e. someone who tidies-up the aftermath of an assassination. The basic plot, and I promise not to enlarge this ... Read review

Advantages: The storyline
Disadvantages: Subtitles

...film, whereas Mr Vengeance and Lady Vengeance share some common weaknesses. To begin with, the pace of the film rises and dips at different times, and sometimes has a lull that may turn casual viewers off. Secondly, the film contains some scenes that are very disturbing, such as scenes of child abuse, which I found impossible to watch, and again this will ruin it for some. The end 30 minutes of the film is the best, as we see a beautifully planned ...
...best in the revenge trilogy, Lady Vengeance is an ambitious story that causes viewers to question the point of vengeance, and does so with occasional extreme violence, torture and abuse. If you liked this film you should watch the rest of the trilogy, along with Ichi the Killer, an insane movie along a similar theme. ... Read review

He is hired to kill a Russin Diplomat, but it is a set up. The target uses a lot of doubles, but the double has ideas of becoming the Russin Prime Minister. Agent 47 is identifed by the diplomats prostitute girlfriend a charecter with loads of bad attitude. ...
...47 for three years. The head of interpol is a tough talking Glaswegian. There is so much action in this film, and it is a gorey flick with some horendous death scenes. there is quite a lot of action. I'd reccomend the film as it watchable. The guy who plays the assasin does seem to speak a little quiet at times, he probably trained at the same acting school as Keanu Reaves. Still very good film, that has a plausable story line. Better than most games ... Read review
