Assassin (2023)
3/10
Not Very Good
3 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I saw Assassin, starring Bruce Willis-Death Wish_2018, the Die Hard movies; Nomzamo Mbatha-Coming 2 America, All About Love; Andy Allo-Chicago Fire_tv, Pitch Perfect 3 and Dominic Purcell-Prison Break_tv, Straw Dogs_2011.

I really, really wanted this to be a good movie, especially since it is the last one made by Bruce Willis because of his Aphasia and Dementia diagnosis. Sadly, it's not very good. It's a sci_fi action-very little in that department-spy story. Bruce has very little screen time and when he does, it's usually him saying a few lines and walking from one place to another. Nomzamo plays a soldier that is involved with a new AI experiment that places a person's brain in another person's body-not literally, but more like a mental type of thing like Dr Strange or Deadman does. Dominic is the bad guy here and this process is the only way to get close to him in order to kill him. Andy is the recipient of Nomzamo's mind invasion because she can get close to Dominic. The story has big loop holes that you could drive a truck through and some things just don't make any sense.

It's rated R for violence and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 28 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD or even stream. If you really want to see it, I'd wait until it comes to basic tv.
