Well first of all, in twenty years on this site and I never wrote a review. But I will do it for this film. This piece has certainly been produced with $2 and 3 pennies. The story is not innovative. The fights are well choreographed in the sense they reminded me the fights my friends and I used to produced when I was offered my first camera. After watching them on tv we were busting in laughter, so ridiculous we looked after hours of rehearsal. The all team seemed to have a good time. It looked like they could not hide their joy of being on a set. They look like a collection of art students lucky enough to be hired for the occasion. Last thing, the sound post production is just terrible, the actors reciting their lines without life or soul. Well I had innocent fun thank to this effort but... I am afraid I will never watch it again.

Unbelievably Atrocious!

One of the worst movies I've seen - ever.

These people who gave it high ratings must be family members of the cast. It's a really bad movie. The acting is 3rd rate and amateurish. The martial arts scenes were laughable, like I walked into my dojo and saw two kids sparring. The plot - well, I'll give the movie an extra star since there have been other movies that were better but with even less believable plots. Cinematography - gosh, lighting was bland, composition just run of the mill, just...meh. Roger Deakins this guy ain't. Skip this one folks.
Could have been better

Warning: Spoilers
I call these movies the 1 and 1's, written and directed by the same person, and this can be picked up usually in the first 5 minutes, this one was no exception.
The premise sounded promising, Assassins pitted against each other, but, that's where the promise stopped. Camera work was terrible (which is always the giveaway in a 1 and 1), the acting was very amateurish, especially the fight scene about 5 minutes in, I've seen school kids make a better showing , which all leads to the director.
I turned it off after 10 minutes. My opinion : stay away from this one.

Movie held my intrest

The movie was good but you can tell it didnt have a large budget. It seems the cast and crew did well with what it they had. The movie has a good premise and most of the fight scenes were good. The finale fight scene was actually pretty damn awsome. I would like to see more development of the main character and the fake light sabers were kind of bad but overall I had fun watching this.
Hilarious

One of the funniest unintentional comedies ever made. The foley alone provides nonstop laughs. Couple that with martial arts scenes that look like two little kids excited to be wearing geis as Halloween costumes, dialogue penned by a five year old, actors who speak English as a second language, comically inept camera work, scenes that could have been edited in any order and still make just as much sense, no plot, no story, and actors who can only be called actors because they are people who appear on film. Haven't laughed so hard since Airplane!
Seven stars.

Little Movie BIG Action
lqqknclick29 July 2020
This is a little movie with A LOT of action and a little dash of goofy humor, You won't be bored. What makes this a stand out action movie is you can SEE the action! The actors and the director know martial arts. You don't get that jerky camera in the shadows stuff. It's all right there. Fast paces with a surprise twist at the end.
If you like 'Kick-butt-shoot-them-up' action - this is one to watch.

A victory for independent filmmaking
imaginationunlimitedcle27 June 2020
I almost didn't watch this film because of the negative reviews. Some of them were so bad that they made me want to see it for myself knowing that sometimes the bad ones are entertaining just because they are so bad. This was not the case with this one. No true fan of action and the art of martial arts is overly concerned with the storyline to begin with. With that being said, the storyline was good but the action itself was great. Did the actors seem like newbies or independent film actors? Yes, but the strong fight choreography more than made up for it. Not to mention the length of some of the fight scenes. Even as novices, the performers held their own. Kudos to the fight coordinator. Hollywood has jaded audiences with their big budgets, big name actors and flashy special effects so much so that people have lost their appreciation for passionate artists who can get a solid film done on their own dime. The cinematography was definitely solid for an independent film. Without giving anything away, while their have been other films in this genere that bear similar aspects, one of the most unique concepts was the incorporation of a certain supporting character. For me it was like The Raid meets Fight Club. Were some of the special effects like the plasma swords Hollywood grade? Short answer no, but for me it almost seems as if it paid homage to sci/fi films from back in the day which as someone who appreciates nostalgia, it only added to the films appeal. Is this film worth a watch? Definitely. I would even suggest watching it more than once to get a true appreciation for it and a real sense of what the filmmaker was trying to accomplish with this piece. There were subtle things I didn't pick up on the first time that I caught the second time that helped pull everything together. Given the fact that the future of traditional Hollywood is so uncertain right now in the age of Covid-19, its a good thing that independent films and independent filmmakers like this exist. From the looks of the crew IMDb page, this film was done with very few people. Big budget films have never and will never be able to pull off the quality of films that people are accustomed to with such a small crew. With the strong possibility that independent films will be the wave of the future, Assassin's Game is a solid victory for the coming new age of independent films.
Looking for something great?
