I like Danny dyer but in this film the whole cast were p**spoor this is by far the worst action film i have ever seen in my entire life. The story line... actually what the hell was the story line i think the film could have been a lot better with dyer and the Kemp brothers. I didn't get to the end because i remembered i have better things to do with my life but if it is in any way similar to the rest of the film i don't really care. I watched this film on Sky Cinema and i deleted it 45 minutes later after declaring it the worst assassin film i have ever watched. The director should have won the razzing for worst action film ever. By the way i wouldn't let someone on death row watch this as they would umber to the electric chair

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Jamie (Danny Dyer) is a cold, pitiless assassin who carries out jobs for numerous undesirables around London. His latest clients are the Alberts Brothers (Martin and Gary Kemp) who want him to whack off a local councillor who's duped them over some dodgy planning application. After carrying out the job, he crosses paths with troubled stripper Chloe (Holly Weston) and ends up falling in love with her. However, the identity of his last assignment and his relation to his new squeeze plunges him and those around him into a deadly battle for survival.Now settled in as a main character on national TV institution East Enders, Danny Dyer still finds time to appear in these occasional, off the radar little flicks, that belong in the much touted British gangster genre. And this would prove to be one of his better ones, a little more coherent and effective than his recent, similarly themed Vendetta. It has a solid, interesting story that goes in different angles than you might expect it to. Plus, Dyer himself is actually pretty good in the lead role, and Martin Kemp especially has presence as one of the main villains. It's a pretty brutal, unflinching ride, too, not afraid to skimp on the brutal violence and hard hitting action.Short and sweet, it manages to all wrap up at just under an hour and a half, and the pace matches the length. Yes, the lighting's a little blurry and maybe there are a few inconsistencies and plot holes in the script, but no more than in any other such film, and for a film that probably had a pretty low budget, how it's presented is forgivable. Dyer seems to have been the victim of the British 'build 'em up, tear 'em down' mentality among film connoisseurs, when you think there was a time when he was being touted as a the next Ray Winstone, only now to have everyone gloating in his status, appearing in more lesser known, lower grade films, and knocking his acting. He does feel a little typecast, but that's how you tend to get a fan base, and you could get someone far worse making forgettable but enjoyable films like this. ***

I went for this movie due to the IMDb rating at that time. It was around a 6-7 and I thought to myself, lets give it a go.I wont give out any spoilers but this movie was just bad. I don't understand how any producer, actor etc can go through this process and think YESSS lets bring this out..The acting was appalling, the sound and music was that of a bad soft-porn flick, the character build up was none existing and the storyline simple, dumb and frustrating.Its just a shame.. I was not anticipating on a great movie, but perhaps just something entertaining and OK would have been more then fine.. sadly it was just a waste of time.

I've enjoyed other movies with Danny Dyer as the lead, but Assassin is different.Whilst the story had potential, it became both predictable, and laughable. Irritatingly, the audio mix became too heavy on the background music, to the point where speech couldn't be understood. This wasn't helped by Danny's predilection to mumble his words. The primary two female characters in the story were acting without any real or believable emotions. It's as if they were reading the script out loud for the first time.Laughably, the continuity was beyond belief with regards to Danny's Motorbike helmet, which switched from black to silver throughout the movie, and even within single riding sequences. Maybe the movie budget couldn't stretch to buy two black helmets if one was damaged during the filming.Then there's an unbelievable sequence where two thugs attempt to break-into Danny's hide-out. After Danny kills the thug who inexplicably appeared to be able to get upstairs in the small house, Danny then fires 10 shots into the other thug, at almost point blank range as he runs out of the hallway unaffected by being hit by 10 bullets.When Danny confronts Gary Kemp, Garry shoots, grazing Danny's leg, yet the large pane of glass behind Danny is unaffected.The ending is truly yawn inducing. This has to be one of the worst films I have endured.
