Summary: This is why i love Jerry Bruckheimer and America!!!
Review: Don't let my blurb scare you off. This isn't the worst movie ever made in any sense. However it is very un-American in its form. It isn't done that well at times and the plot is difficult to follow. Not to mention that Skeet Ulrich pulls off the worst performance I have seen all year. I know he was never great but he was never this bad. I mean his performance here is plain bad. I felt that there were times when I was supposed to know what was going on and I just didn't. I commend them for the style though. The fast music, the fast filming here and there. this film seems like a Dutch mix of THE BOURNE IDENTITY, any Jerry Bruckheimer movie, and RUN LOLA RUN. Worth a watch on a rainy day.

Summary: Fun Ride
Review: I rented and then bought this DVD. It is different and has an attitude. Off beat locale and happenings...a bicycle chase in Amsterdam, a sniper shootout on the canal and lots of quick cuts and Hi Tech look and feel. The story is interesting as well...betrayal by a "father figure". I have read some negative reviews of this movie by uptight "filmees". Get a life!! They over analyze all of the things about the movie that are actually fun....the pacing, the styized look, the blue filter....that's what is fun. Get your nose out of obscure and boring films and enjoy life.

Summary: Very Pleasant Surprise
Review: If you love action, Europe and fast paced stories, this one is for you. If not, then take a pass. Much like Nikita, Bourne Identity and other great Euro thrillers Soul Assassin is not as formulaic as most American action films and I really enjoyed the fresh new actors from Holland (I assume). Skeet and Kristy were good, but Kristy should have been in the movie more. A fault of an otherwise passable script. Nothing too special there, but the movie has a unique view. A very blue view. Personally I liked it. Along with the sound, which is loud and great. The story was confusing at times, then it all makes sense in the end. No spoilers here, but I was definitely surprised by the final events. I probably should give the film a 4/5 but because of the end I have to give it a 5/5.

Summary: Soul Assassin...
Review: SOUL ASSASSIN's most glaring fault is that it doesn't know what it wants to be - slam bang action feature or Gladiator-esque drama? Well, it's neither as a result of its indecisions, which is a real shame since things start off on the right foot. The movie's loaded with style and a comic book flare, but gradually things become more and more absurd, and the end, while surprising, is a big letdown. If you want to see an action flick with style and brains, check out THE BOURNE IDENTITY instead.

Summary: Good 'Action' movie
Review: The plot, while at times are to see, is there. I would say that the majority of the scenes that attempted emotional impact were fufilled as a result of pretty good acting. The DVD has some other cool stuff on it. I will admit though that the visuals, while interesting, were a bit nausiating. A lot of quick, extreme camera movement. The blue filter was very appropriate. There is a screen flashing technique that the director overused a bit.
Good action movie to see once or twice. Very fufulling ending, if you followed the plot...

Summary: torture
Review: This entire film is done in Blue and White (no not black and white). Which is torture on the eyes. I got 3/4 of the way through and gave up in disgust cause my eyes were killing me from the dreary color scheme. Awful.

Summary: Horrible film...but it had potential
Review: This film could have been much better. The Plot actually tried to be intelligent but failed miserably. While the story was unique but it was simply put together so badly half the time you were like what the hell is going on. Even when the film tries to explain it at the end it still does a super poor job. The action was simply laughable since you couldnt see what was going on due to the purposely shaky filming to make the action look like it was in your seat. It was not a good idea because unless you have an exciting plot and well explained action is not needed. But the action was horrible and plot was explained at a D-. Good points: attempt at a good story
Bad points: poor coreography, poor production of action sequences
worst points: boring film due to bad action sequences and poor story telling Overall movie grade D+
