Think the Bourne franchise meets the Bond franchise, without the wit or action.

[A] dippy hodgepodge of hitman action, illogical romance and geopolitical commentary.

Why is Slater in this? Why are Sutherland and Spall? Why am I even watching it?

Corny action scenes and borderline-hilarious direction by Isaac Florentine mark the film as an obvious straight-to-video item that somehow took a wrong turn into a movie theater.

Mr. Slater valiantly tries to appear turned on by his leading lady's shimmying midsection, but he might as well be watching a performing dog for all the heat mustered between them.

This psychologically tinged thriller about a mysterious female assassin won't erase memories of La Femma Nikita.

The script and direction are equally inept, with a series of overwrought action sequences and ludicrous plot twists that come suspiciously close to parody.

What do belly dancers, wigs, shrinks, split personalities and secret ops sexpot mercenary mayhem have to do with a movie? Well, an awful lot it seems, in this CIA espionage freakout that makes waterboarding appear tame by comparison.

In trying to pass off the obvious as some type of mystery, Assassin's Bullet repeatedly insults viewer intelligence until the whole effort transforms into unintentional camp.

Assassin's Bullet feels like a shameless, dismal vanity project.

Isaac Florentine's film is maligned with gaping plot holes, terrible expository dialogue, and obvious moments of foreshadowing.

Audience Reviews for Assassin's Bullet

What the f#$@ is this? Like... seriously, what the f#$@? Equivalent to a Kindergarten with crayons and a blank page. The editing has no rhythm, the credit font is fucking bizarre, the music is so strange... It's mind-boggling that this movie exists.
February 8, 2013
Spoiler alert.... Why would FBI who are the ones behind the assassinations bring on an agent to find out the identity that they already know? Is it just to make you confused until you realize it's a bad movie and its too late? Sucky film made by hacks who figure the audience is ignorant.
