Leave your thoughts about Assassin's Bullet.
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe cockeyed C-quality B movie, shot on location with a Balkan supporting cast and crew, mixes a precarious pileup of visual clichés with over-staged action sequences. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFor the thickheaded thriller Assassin's Bullet the Bulgarian actress Elika Portnoy dreamed up a story with three roles for herself and fails to convince in any of them. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe action sequences are strictly pro forma and -- despite the sleek killer's resemblance to the similarly lethal heroine of "La Femme Nikita" -- this dull effort lacks the excitement generated by any of its incarnations. |
| USA TodayScott BowlesWhat snookered Slater (not to mention Donald Sutherland) into this film is a wonder, because there's not a genuine bone in it. Think the Bourne franchise meets the Bond franchise, without the wit or action. |
| New York PostKyle SmithCorny action scenes and borderline-hilarious direction by Isaac Florentine mark the film as an obvious straight-to-video item that somehow took a wrong turn into a movie theater. |
| MUBIIgnatiy VishnevetskyA martial-artist-turned-filmmaker, Florentine (born Yitzhak Florentin) has carved out a niche in the direct-to-video world as an old-school action director with a knack for choreographing and composing fight scenes. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyWhy is Slater in this? Why are Sutherland and Spall? Why am I even watching it? |
| VarietyDennis HarveyMuch of this makes little sense, but it's hard to care. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerFans of incessant flashbacks and endless whooshing zooms into close-ups will find much to love about Assassin's Bullet; less satisfied, alas, will be those with a fondness for lucid plotting, compelling intrigue, and credible performances. |
| Long Island PressPrairie MillerWhat do belly dancers, wigs, shrinks, split personalities and secret ops sexpot mercenary mayhem have to do with a movie? Well, an awful lot it seems, in this CIA espionage freakout that makes waterboarding appear tame by comparison. |
