Verdict on Assassin Club
Assassin Club is an action thriller following an assassin who gets drawn into a game involving a group of assassins hired to hunt each other down. It sees him using his connections to track down his fellow assassins before they get to him. All while trying to learn who is really behind the plan.
This is an action movie that falls into the group of badly shot action movies with too many cuts. While the concept is fun, it never seems to take it as fun, leaving the movie trying so hard to be taken seriously. Sure, this will entertain for a late-night action movie, it does all it needs to without ever being memorable.
Final Thoughts –Assassin Club is the typical late-night action movie.
