Summary: Stallone alone... an exercise in camp
Review: On paper this probably looked like a sure-fire hit--and in the hands of another director, it probably would have been. It had a few things going for it--namely the Stallone name, Donner's name (banking on his Lethal Weapon fame), and Banderas, who had been working fairly steadily during this time, and proved his mettle as an action star in the enjoyable "Desperado."The idea of two assassins as chess opponents is a very smooth idea, but it's mishandled by all here with the exception of Julianne Moore as the cyber thief. Stallone (as usual) simply walks through his role, and Banderas is wayyy too over-the-top, even for a bad guy. To make matters worse, it's about 25 minutes too long; by the end you really don't care what happens to anybody. Donner isn't the director for thought-provoking, intrigue-based films. Give him an $80 million dollar budget to blow things up, and he's okay. This film's supposed to be about panache and subtleties, but ends up being a by-the-numbers actioner with little action to recommend it. Some decent action sequences, but I agree with one of the previous reviewers--'The Mechanic' was a much better film that handled a similar subject, and it didn't have huge box-office names going for it.

Summary: Poor picture quality
Review: Poor picture quality, every other second the picture either goes blurry or seems to glitch and show lines. Quite obvious on a computer monitor, less so on a tv. Annoying. Decent flick, though not half as dark as it tries to be, and burdened with typical Hollywood elements that detract from an otherwise viable main story. It does have its moments, primarily thanks to Banderas (IMHO), but is still doomed to cliche and mediocrity for its "action movie" formula. End result: where this movie could have been much darker, it is merely campy (like a typical action movie). Could have very easily become the thriller it should have been, if it had been given a director with some vision. It's clear that Donner really didn't know where he wanted to go (except to the bank) with this movie. LONG STORY SHORT: decent flick, bad dvd.

Summary: A great sniper
Review: Stallone gets off with another action character (Robert Wrath). In this Movie he plays the character as an assasin who takes orders from an unknown person and the one thing he can't do is "hesitate to kill" What i really like about this movie is that it reminds people that there are some of those type exist in the world. Therefore, this movie is just showng you how dark and faroff there lives are.

Summary: Smooth 'Assassins'
Review: Sylvester Stallone is back again along with a new comic hero, Antonio Banderas. The best duo since Tango and Cash, yes! Assassin Stallone wants to retire with one last hit, but Assassin Banderas ruins the cash payment. Naive man. You don't mess with Stallone, he gets angry real fast. A woman who has valuable information and is a hacker, must be assassinated. But luckily for her, Stallone protects her from Banderas. An encounterment in a taxicab forced Stallone to drive like a madman and crash into other cars, gutsy! The stove trick was clever forcing Banderas to jump out of the window! In the final pay-off, Banderas waited in a tower for Stallone to come out of a bank, but Stallone took his time and made Banderas sweat. I was laughing with enthusiasm. This movie is too smooth.

Summary: Stallone and Banderas bash head on
Review: the two leads are great, especially Banderas with his chitchattering character Miguel who is hilariously deadly. best highlight would be when Banderas gets blown out a window when the gaslight in Julianne Moore's apartment ignites, it sends him flying out baby. though the downfall is length, especially in the end where it seems endless and yawning.

Summary: Fun movie with a lot of flaws
Review: This is a good action flick with a several big name stars, some who were not so big when it was filmed.
Sylvester Stallone does a good job as the "retiring" hit man, but his character is not much different from all of his previous movies. Antonio Banderas has the same problem.
If you enjoy picking apart movies, there is tons of material in this DVD to throw stones at. They use a wide variety of weapons and most of them do not actually perform as shown. In one scene, Julianne Moore "cocks" a Ruger Mark II with her thumb. This would be hard to do since it has an internal hammer.
There are also several spots where the director inserted "subliminal" advertising. In two scenes, a bus is shown with a big red "NO NRA" sign on it. In a bar scene in South America, a waitress is wearing a t-shirt with "PRO CHOICE" in large letters accross the front.
Overall it's a fun movie. I had to hit the stop button and go over many scenes in slow motion to figure out what they were doing or what they were carrying. I like movies that make me do that. Good Saturday night popcorn flick.

Summary: It's chambered.
Review: this movie i found very entertaining. it is fast paced, with good action and for the first time sly doing something with more bite than rambo. all the characters are good except for the lead lady. i found her preformance somewhat hollow. the movie would rate 5 stars but some of the story get's predictable and some of the situations a bit over the top. however for all it's failings this is still a movie i come back to every now and again.

Summary: Stallone + Banderas = FLOP
Review: This movie is in desperate need of subtitles because Antonio and Sly are not comprehensible. I would take a portion of the budget for this film and give them acting lessons. They should have casted Robert Goulet and Carrottop. It would have done better.

Summary: Hollywood anti-gun rights rant.
Review: This was a horrible movie. It was predicable and way too long. In addition, it was ironic that Hollywood would put so many anti-gun rights messages into a movie that glorifies gun-violence. Hollywood would you at least please teach actors how to hold and fire a handgun--seeing these guys handle the weapons in the movie is laughable. If I see another actor firing a gun while holding it sideways I think I'll scream!
