Leave your thoughts about The Assassin's Code.
| Cleveland Plain DealerMichael HeatonEdward Lee Cornett and Valerie Grant wrote a terrific script, both smart, funny and full of explosive action. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe Assassin's Code features a few plot twists, but none surprising. The situation and the characters are just too stock. |
| User ReviewAnn GA lot more substance under the hood than you'd expect from a cops-and-mobsters indie crime thriller. Justin Chatwin's rookie detective has pathos under his caged-animal cockiness that makes you want to see him work through his demons, and Peter Stormare gives a tour-de-force monologue worth the price of admission. There's enough twists to keep you intrigued, the dialog is smart and unexpectedly funny, and the resolution has get-you-in-the-throat emotional resonance. Definitely worth checking out. |
| User ReviewCorbin EGreat movie a must see! But then again I'm in it! ?? |
| User ReviewwritevalA well-done crime thriller with more under the hood than most of its genre, a lot more character-driven than the shoot-em-up trailer would suggest. Justin Chatwin's rookie detective is cocky and conflicted, Peter Stormare (from "Fargo") gives a great monologue in one of the best standalone scenes I've ever seen; and veteran radio guy Mark Thompson (Mark from the KLOS "Mark and Brian" show) is fantastic as Justin's captain and Justin's surrogate father figure. The dialog is smart and at times funny, it's beautifully shot, and the jazz-noir soundtrack is knockout. |
| User ReviewLarry MI really enjoyed this police drama. It's obviously not a big budget production, but it covers all of the bases for a mildly interesting plot. The acting is solid, and Peter Stormare is fun to watch as usual. It was nice seeing Yancy Butler, formally of the TV series Witchblade, in a role again. I liked the pace of the movie, and there aren't a lot of unnecessary subplots. |
