Critic Reviews

  • Scott Bowles, USA Today
    Think the Bourne franchise meets the Bond franchise, without the wit or action. More...
  • Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
    [A] dippy hodgepodge of hitman action, illogical romance and geopolitical commentary. More...
  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    Why is Slater in this? Why are Sutherland and Spall? Why am I even watching it? More...
  • Kyle Smith, New York Post
    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. More...
  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
    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. More...
  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
    This psychologically tinged thriller about a mysterious female assassin won't erase memories of La Femma Nikita. More...
  • Dennis Harvey, Variety
    Much of this makes little sense, but it's hard to care. More...
  • Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
    The cockeyed C-quality B movie, shot on location with a Balkan supporting cast and crew, mixes a precarious pileup of visual clichés with over-staged action sequences. More...
  • Nick Schager, Village Voice
    Fans of incessant flashbacks and endless whooshing zooms into close-ups will find much to love about Assassin's Bullet; less satisfied, alas, will be those with a fondness for lucid plotting, compelling intrigue, and credible performances. More...
  • Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue.com
    The script and direction are equally inept, with a series of overwrought action sequences and ludicrous plot twists that come suspiciously close to parody. More...
