If Sylvester Stallone plays the world's number one assassin in this thriller, that must make Antonio Banderas, well, number two. The two are competing to hit the same target for a $20-million payoff, and their challenge takes them from explosion to explosion on a cat-and-mouse chase from Seattle to Mexico. Julianne Moore plays the cagey cat fancier and computer hacker who possesses a stolen computer disc that makes her a prime target for bad guys, and Robert Rath (Stallone) is only too happy to come to her defense. Director Richard Donner handles action sequences with adequate flair and has a good time blowing things up. Banderas has fun with the nonsensical plot, and Moore is enjoyable in one of her big-budget mainstream roles. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Action Classic
Assassins is an oft-overlooked classic action movie, an excellent thriller delivered by director Joel Silver and the screenplay-writing Wachowski brothers. The story is about Robert Rath (Stallone), an assassin who gets his contracts via the computer. Rath wants to quit the sordid business, but he can't say no to the last big job, retrieving a computer disc and killing the mark, in this case an encrypter played by Julianne Moore.

Rating: - Action start to finish
When I put this DVD in, and hit play, action started. The whole way through the 2 hour movie, there is action non stop, clear up to the end in the "No Goodbyes" scene. This is a great movie. My favorite part was in the taxi when Robert Rath (Stallone) And Miguel Bain (Banderas) meet.
If youre a fan of either Banderas or Stallone, then I strongly suggest this movie to you.
Rating: - Fantastic
Superb. Outstanding. Great performances by my favourite i.e. Sylvester Stallone meanwhile well supported by Antonio.
Rating:  - Before the Matrix
Assassins is the Wachowsky Brothers film everyone forgets about, although perhaps because here the duo share screenplay credit with the variable Brian Helgeland with Richard Donner taking directorial duties. Originally intended as a vehicle for Sean Connery and Tom Cruise as the tired topdog and the precocious pretender in each others sights but settling for Stallone and Banderas instead, it's a pretty good thriller with some good setpieces and an interesting take on its antiheroes as people who have ...

Rating: - A Movie Where You Can Feel The Heat Coming Of The Screen!
Assassins is a great action thriller starring Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas.
Richard Donner, the director of the Lethal Weapon Films, has done a fantastic job as always, creating a world with characters that you won't forget that easy.
Sylvester Stallone does a good job as a hitman who doesn't wanna kill anymore, but still gets new offers he doesn't wanna refuse. While Stallone's character is on the job, a rivale pops up: Antonio Banderas. Now Banderas is perfectly cast as ... Read More
