Absolutely Brilliant!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Blistering performances.
SOUL ASSASSIN is another cheap-looking Z-grade thriller with the same old plot elements and developments. SCREAM actor Skeet Ulrich plays a businessman who soon uncovers some dodgy dealings and ends up fighting for his life and the lives of those around him when he uncovers corrupt business practices that link back to his own father. This film was made in the Netherlands, but any local style is ruined by the decision to shoot the whole thing in a blue tint that renders it generic and mundane-looking. Ulrich plays this out on autopilot and isn't assisted by any of the other cast members. Some low rent action scenes are filmed in an embarrassing way and the whole thing will have you wanting to switch off half an hour in.
This was absolutely the WORST movie ever made in Holland and I've seen them all! Being Dutch myself, I am ashamed that this "videoclip-type" movie was made with a lot of Dutch effort (actors, production and ofcourse locations).The story and the acting are so bad and corny that I first thought they made it as an experimental joke. But they MEANT it! Especially the way that this movie was advertised really annoyed me once I saw the finished product. This was supposed to be a movie that would blow us away and it was supposed to be a rollercoaster-ride of action... We were deceived: the plot is worse than a standard action-movie, the blue filter on the images and the weird experimental imaging gives you a headache, and the biggest stunt in Soul Assassin is when Skeet Ullrich rides his bicycle(!) into a canal...! Need I say more...? The director (Laurence Malkin) used to make MTV-videos for rapper Coolio and it SHOWS! My advice: DON'T bother renting this one, you'll kick yourself after if you DO!
This movie has tons of action. The acting is so bad by skeet but o well. This was non-stop action. It is 2:44 am right now and I can't really go into detail why it was so good, but if your looking for a GREAT action film see this. A note about the plot...it goes in crazy circle...actually gave me a headache..and lastly I never thought I'd say this but I am actually going to seek this movie out that has a 3.5 right now and BUY IT...
I just saw this on DVD . My friend saw it at a screening at The Directors Guild in LA last year and bought it a soon as the new DVD came out. He said it was different and it was. It's an independently produced action thriller with more on it's mind than the usual low budget explosions and murky pseudo film noir effects. The fast cuts, transition edits, hyper modern music, "industrial blue" tints on some scenes, all act as a counterpoint to a story of betrayal and amoral corporate greed (Enron anyone?). The acting by Skeet Ulrich, Derek De Lint and Antoine Kamerling was a B+ (De Lint was really an A).You should see this film. Especially if you can see it on DVD so you can get the full impact of the sound track.What I mean by "confrontational" is that based on the comments I have read people either love this film or are bothered by it's unique differences from the norm. I loved it.
