This film should carry a message warning you not to look too deeply for rhyme or reason or you'll end up with a nasty headache. Just ignore the holes in the plot and concentrate instead on the rivalry that develops between hitmen Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas, especially when Stallone becomes enamoured of their target, hacker supreme Julianne Moore. Director Richard Donner lets Banderas get away with a lazy performance, but Stallone has rarely been so interesting.

very cool!
Basically this is about hit man Robert Wrath {Sylvestor Stallone} who decides to retire from being an assassin. however, a mysterious sender has sucked him back into the job for one last time. it all starts at a funeral attack by an evil sniper named Miguel Baigne { Antonio Banderos} who is sent out by his boss to murder a thief called Elektra { Julianne Moore} who has a disc which they desperately need. fantastic scenes. great entertainment. i loved the scenes in Spain!

Tongue in cheek action thriller, not just for the blokes !
Rival assassins Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas make this an entertaining movie. Personally not a fan of this genre, I really enjoyed this. Banderas was excellent as the psychotic Miguel, the last few scenes see him so manic and nervy he actually makes the viewer feel a little edgy ! Stallone as usual is not great but gives a reasonable performance. Assassins actually has a good (though far-fetched) storyline, unlike some movies of this type.
