Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Seth_Rogue_One I've seen a lot of bad films, heck I've seen a lot of bad Christian Slater films, but this could very well be his very worstBut he's not in it for that long of duration of the movie, neither are Cole Hauser or Angus McFaydenNo this is primarily Sofya Skya's vehicle, both as the director (alongside someone else) and as the main star, and I think maybe she wasn't experience to handle both at the same time or something cause it didn't turn out very good (to put it mildly)They tried to relaunch this movie under Assassins Run with a flashy poster with Cole Hauser and Christian Slater fatigued up armed to the teeth, but that does not represent this movie whatsoever neither of them even hold as much as a gun in this movie, so that's just them trying to sell this as a tough action movie when in reality it's really pretty darn boring The best part of the movie is the credits where they play a nice little acoustic ballad, color my surprise when I read the song credits and that was a song sung by Sofya Skya as well!I'm sitting here thinking should I give it a 1 or a 2 but there was nothing good about it (except for the song in the credits which doesn't count) so yeah I'm just gonna give it a 1

gridoon2018 You have to laugh at the absurd marketing of this movie: Christian Slater and Cole Hauser (who both have bit parts, really) are on the DVD cover in military gear and carrying big weapons, while the true star of the film, Sofya Skya, is nowhere to be seen! Skya is an exquisite creature, graceful and beautiful; the action in the film is slow to kick in (no pun intended) and even when it does it's limited, but Skya can - and does - deliver some amazing kicks from every position and angle you can think of. The story is standard and poorly thought out (the ending is particularly bad), but the direction (in which Skya also contributed) is sure-handed. ** out of 4.

occupyyourmind11 Did I read that right? "Does what ever she can using her skills at ballet," I'm sorry, i have complete and utter respect for the training and discipline ballet dancers go through. But without any formal Martial Arts training ballet would be about as affected as putting out a fire with rubbing alcohol. No vote for I will not be seeing this one. You can set this one next to Gym-kata for worst skills to mix with kung-fu. And the shameless use of Christian Slater as a star to get people to see the movie is reprehensible. Has he fallen so low that he has to use whatever crap that comes along to get some airtime?? oh wait... Oh yeah, Hollow Man II...

alanjayd I thought this movie was a soldier war/action story based on the picture on Netflix. I ordered it Just out of curiosity because I wanted to see what Christian Slater was doing these days. I last liked him in True Romance but haven't seen him do anything, remotely as good, since. The Netflix promo cover picture http://DVD.netflix.com/Movie/Assassins- Run/70270735?trkid=5966279 must be for a different movie, altogether. The original title, White Swan, was more appropriate and Christian Slater has only a small role in the first quarter of the movie. Obviously, the promo materials, title and DVD release were designed to draw in action fans and try to get a bigger audience for this film which is more of a psychological suspense thriller mixed with some cool but unrealistic martial arts. The real star of the film is Sofya Skya, a slender actress with a beautiful face who plays a ballet dancer, Maya, who's life is turned upside down but the Russian mafia, which is out destroy her husband's fortune and find some bearer bonds worth half a billion dollars. Christian Slater overacts with little sincerity but he's out of the picture early. The last three quarters of the movie are much better than the first. If you get past the initial part without shutting it down, you are rewarded with a passable suspense, mystery, kidnapping, revenge, martial arts stew of a film that's worth a 6 rating, not the 4.2 average on IMDb. The assassin in the film, is creepily played by a mostly silent Russian actor and the ultimate villain is fairly obvious but the film just shuts down at the end, leaving the revenge to the imagination.
