Watch Assassin's Bullet For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Sick Product of a Sick System

Nice effects though.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a 3 out of 10 film if there ever was one. The production is mediocre, sound is clear and audible, lighting is professional, not TV quality nor cinema quality, but TV film quality, the acting is what it is and the story is garbage.There is no point in this film.Things just happen. There are so many sides to the story but we never know what their motivations are. People just do things because. Lots of weird things. Bulgarian Turks understand Arabic for some reason (so they speak Bulgarian, Turkish and Arabic, from Indo-European, Turkic and Semitic, three completely different language trees. They're that good, but they choose to spend their intelligence smoking hookah, watching bellydancers and drinking tea.) Oh, and not one of them says "I didn't get it. Could someone translate?" Then Robert (main character) speaks Bulgarian also, he just chooses not to speak it. They ask him in Bulgarian, he answers back in English. I guess the Bulgarians speak English too, but they also choose not to speak it.I don't know how Robert learned Bulgarian so fast (a matter of days?), but I'm Russian and even I needed subtitles because I understood nothing.He understood everything, but he did not dare say one word in Bulgarian. It's not just these inconsistencies, but this is just proof of poor writing and poor understanding of geopolitics.There are random scenes of bellydancing to really stretch out the runtime. Is there a point to this?Islam is the flavor of the decade, so Bulgaria decided to jump on board.The sad thing is that Bulgaria has a lot more interesting stories to tell. The attempted assassination of the Pope is still not understood, a conspiracy that theorists link to the USSR, the KGB, Bulgarian secret service, The Turkish Grey Wolves, East German police, an inside job (Vatican) and so many more. Create a new story like this with new actors, the FSB, Putin, CIA, multinational corporations, etc. instead of the boring topic of Islamic terror which has flooded cinema, TV and now TV movies.Finally, if anyone is interested in some serious Bulgarian TV, watch Pod Prikritie (Undercover). Sofia or whatever they call this film is just crap.

Okay, first let me admit that this is NOT a 10 out of 10 film... However, I felt it necessary to balance the 1 out of 10 that so many reviewers gave.That being said, I would probably give this film a 6 or 7. Sure it isn't the best overall film that I have seen, but it does have its merits and it is obvious that a great deal of thought & care went into making this film! Being a westerner, I pose this question... "How cool would it be to see a film shot entirely in Bulgaria?!" As adyankov from Bulgaria states, "This movie really was made for a Bulgarian audience and features all sorts of coy little inside jokes in the plot"After seeing this film I now have great interest in going to Sofia, Bulgaria!Further, if one can just let go of expectations and watch the film for what it is, it can be a Beautiful experience! I enjoyed watching Elika & Donald -- and I have always been a sucker for Christian Slater. As far as the 'Belly Dancing' goes -- there is the dancing with the main dancer that Christian's character eyes, to me it is much like watching the old time James Bond movie(s). "Sometimes 'Less- is- More'!"To find out more, I recommend reading the review by 'adyankov from Bulgaria'!

Although Christian Slater takes top billing in "High Voltage" helmer Isaac Florentine's "Assassin's Bullet," this nimble, contemporary, terrorist revenge thriller focuses more on starlet Elika Portnoy's schizophrenic heroine rather than her leading man. Interestingly, Portnoy provided the story for scenarists Nancy L. Babine and Hans Feuersinger. Additionally, not only has Portnoy scripted two of her previous films "Tricks of Love" (2008) and "Immigration Tango" (2010) in which she co-starred, but she has served also as a producer on those two films. She plays a damsel-in-distress named Vicki in "Assassin's Bullet" who suffers from multiple personality disorder. She is an assassin by night when she isn't gyrating her hips in an exotic nightclub and a school teacher by day. As it turns, Vicki's parents perished in an explosion detonated by a terrorist at a restaurant. Vicki has never recovered from this traumatic experience. Slater is cast as a former FBI agent who works as a cultural attaché at the American Embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria. According to the exposition, Robert Diggs lost his wife three years ago in the line of fire and retired from the FBI. U.S. Ambassador Ashdown (Donald Sutherland of "M.A.S.H.") recruits a highly reluctant Diggs to help ferret out a mysterious murderer who is knocking off Islamic terrorists with extreme prejudice. Indeed, you don't have to be a psychic to deduce that the same babe who belly dances her way into our lonely protagonist's grieving heart with a little encouragement from Robert's psychiatrist friend, Dr. Kahn (Timothy Spall of "The King's Speech"), is the assassin. Currently, Kahn is helping an enigmatic blonde overcome her dark past. Little does Kahn realize that his patient is the same belly dancer who dresses up in black to deliver payback killer. Meantime, the bell dancer and Robert date and develop a romantic relationship. Florentine maintains momentum throughout this derivative but entertaining 90-minute political actioneer. Obviously, Portnoy has seen her share of Alfred Hitchcock suspense sagas because remnants of "Vertigo" and "Marnie" crop up, along with Luc Besson's "La Femme Nikita." Our assassin chick knows martial arts and can shoot with tolerable accuracy when the occasion demands. Donald Sutherland is as Machiavellian as he was in "The Hunger Games," but our hero has no idea just how sneaky that he is. The revelation that the belly dancer is a ruthless killer in a cat-suit isn't as surprising as later revelations. The multi-talented Elika Portnoy is neither an Angelina Jolie nor a Meryl Streep. She looks sexy enough, but her performance isn' t as polished as either of her co-stars. Slater gives his standard, self-assured performance in what ostensibly is a B-movie. "Undisputed II: Last Man Standing" lenser Ross W. Clarkson takes scenic Bulgaria and adds atmosphere to these sinister shenanigans with his pictorial compositions. Florentine stages enough action scenes so the entire film amounts to more than talking heads. One of the assassination scenes is stylishly done without showing the identity of the shooter, "Assassin's Bullet" ranks as an above-average epic. This movie marks the second time that Slater and Sutherland have co-starred; their first effort together was "Dawn Rider."

Presumably the author of this film had done something interesting prior to making this production, but that is difficult to believe. The plot is very confusing as it seems to pretend that there was doubt of an identity of a character also being another character but as it is the same actress there was never any doubt at all. The acting is terrible and the production is awful. Timothy Spall could not save this film and he usually at least add something. Whatever happened to make this film was a drastic mistake and I would advise you to destroy any copies you see on DVD. I would start by removing the DVD from the case and stamping on it in the shop, then snap it in front of the sales clerk, then burn the remaining parts, then remove the cover from the sleeve and burn it and then use the cover for a different DVD as it is no longer infected.It is a shame they didn't try and make the worst movie in history because then you could take your hat off to a job done very convincingly.
