Assassin(s)
France 1997, 128 minutes
Dir. Mathieu Kassovitz
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Suspense/Crime / Serial Killers
Feat. Mathieu Kassovitz, Michel Serrault
Aroview: Disappointing followup to LA HAINE for dir./star Kassovitz, plumping for a story of an apprentice hitman (Kassovitz) to aging pro Michel Serrault, which despite strong acting loads the genre-material with over-meaningful themes. Well-executed violence though.

4 stars (Very Good) An elderly hitman ready to retire passes his skills (and code of ethics) on to a younger successor, a 25-year-old Max, who's years of television watching & video gaming have dulled his emotions. Violent, but artfully shot and well worth a look. ~GenXGirl
2 stars (Good Try) The first killing wasn't convincing with fingerprints all over the place. The plot idea wasn't very tasteful and you don't really gain anything from the screenplay unless you are a budding assassin. ~Tubbs
