Truly Dreadful Film
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This could have been so much better! Have a man play Frank at the beginning, and Michelle Rodriguez is the perfect casting for later. But at the beginning, it just looks like her with a beard on. Fail. Sigourney Weaver perfectly cast as evil doctor. But way too many lines, most of them poorly written. Fail. The rest of it all? Meh. It's a clever idea, and a nice, cruel reveal at the end, but overall with the points I've made above, this movie is a fail.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching, "The Assignment". I love the actresses, story line, and intrigue over what happened next. I have no idea why these reviewers gave it such a low score, but imagine these people are why we have Trump as a president.
After waking up and discovering that he has undergone gender reassignment surgery, an assassin seeks to find the doctor responsible. The Assignment is one of those films where you push your self to the limit and you try to like you really do but the end result is just meh. Seriously how in the hell did Michelle Rodriguez and especially Sigourney Weaver agreed to this film? The film was also directed by Walter Hill who was the Producer to the original Alien film starring Weaver and even his last movie 'Bullet to the Head' was more enjoyable than this. The acting is truly dreadful especially from Rodriguez and even Weaver, the plot with the whole sex change makes no damn sense where they could easily kill Frank instead of making into a woman. Also way too much nudity i did not wanted to see Michelle Rodriguez fake d*ck or her just naked as a woman after it her sex scenes or her kissing scenes with Caitlin Gerard were also pretty awkward. I don't know if this is one of the worst films of the year but it's sure on the list although it counts more like a 2016 film rather than a 2017 one. Overall The Assignment or Revenger as it's also known is a film where good actors careers go to die and good directors get sucked in a colossal disaster. (0/10)
If you don't like action and have a dark sense of humour then don't waste your time and don't see it, it's that simple. It only means you have other movies that suits you better. Whoever watch's it, take it seriously lightly and you will have a laugh. It's a graphic movie with a B-side intention.
