In "Repeater," the protagonist John Smith was a multi-dimensional mercenary killer. He will take almost any job, and they include substantial payoffs. But as the film unfolds, it is clear that this is a killer with a conscience.
For an action film, the pace was remarkably sluggish. Many of the scenes and situations stretched credibility, such as the botched plan to murder the entrepreneur Rousseau in his hotel room.
In his present Mission Impossible-like assignment, Smith comes across old friends and foes, such as Nadia Sykes and Henrik Botha. But the most interesting relationship was the romantic connection he made with Esperanza. Their scenes together were the best in the film.
Overall, there was slapdash feeling to the editing and transitions. The goal was clearly to convey a gritty realism. But there was too much grit and not enough realism.
