Good movie. But not really an "action movie"
Good movie, but if you're looking for an "'shoot-em-up' Action Flick", prolly keep looking. This is more of a an "Acting Movie" driven by somewhat introspective dialog and subtle directing. Plot twists and misdirection? Plenty. Car chases and stunts? Nada. There is plenty of gun-play, sure. But only in the way a movie about the lives of office workers has word processing. They might not have spend a lot of money on it, it does NOT have the feel of a low-budget movie with chinzy production values. More like an 'Indie-film'. Jun 2 '20

GET DOWN AND DIRTY BABY GIRL
ANNA SILK IS MY ALL-TIME FAVE ACTRESS- I liked the supporting actors who did excellent jobs of course. LOVE to SEE black actors WHO SPEAK REAL English- no slurring and no 'idiot' slang'. IT is a shame the USA IS STILL DEEPLY ENTRENCHED IN MAKING EVERYONE black 'a new time slave who mumbles and looks sloppy and dresses like a clown from stupid wigs to stupid duds to stupid 'BAMMER LINGO'.. The black population of the USA needs to turn their back on the EVERYONE CREATING MOVIES THAT MAKE all of us feel that keeping us down is the main agenda and collectively working to disrespect /misrepresent and shame everyone who has gotten an education and tried to improve the live of both rich and poor minority kids, adult, and immigrants. I FOR ONE AM TIRED OF BEING REPRESENTED AS A PIMP, HOOKER, WHORE, AND IDIOT in almost every movie at the theatres across the country and around the world.

Excellent Movie, Not Your Typical Movie About Assassins
Assassins Tale is about deceit and betrayal versus loyalty and trust. This is a dark, gritty film, with characters that live and work at the margins of society. Deceit brings out the worst in them, whereas loyalty eventually provides their redemption. The cast gives us excellent performances, in their portrayal of these layered characters. We also benefit from, skillful directing and well written dialogue. It is an engaging story with surprising twists. So, as other reviewers suggest, pay close attention or you might miss something. Yes this is a movie whose characters are assassins, but it certainly is not just another run-of-the-mill movie about assassins shooting at other people and blowing things up. Definitely worth watching. To Amazon and MTI Home Video: I wish Assassins Tale were available in the more convenient digital/streaming video format, not just via DVD.

Uneven
Entertaining, but uneven. Uneven pacing, dialogue, and acting at times, but still some good performances. I got this as an Anna Silk fan, and don't regret it, but it seems like it could have been better. The worst part of the whole movie, though, was the soundtrack. For me, a good soundtrack can elevate a subpar movie into something I watch multiple times. This soundtrack made it difficult to get through the whole movie once, definitely a solid star off the review for that alone.

If you have insomnia and need to pass time this one is pretty good. The picture on the cover had nothing ...
I give it 3.2 stars. If you have insomnia and need to pass time this one is pretty good. The picture on the cover had nothing to do with the movie, which is a good thing, as you can guess if the characters were walking around w swords and guns, it would probably earn one star. Decent story line, good acting. Yes. 3.2 stars. Watch it.

A thinker's movie
The movie has a lot of twist. It gives you a lot to think about at any given time. The acting was pretty good. It is by no means your typical, predictable movie. Just when you think you've got it figured out, it takes a new turn. The female assassin was pregnant, but the movie never explains by whom. It's not a high budget movie, but it well worth watching.

Mixed. Had Its Moments. Has Its Limitations
Some decent acting here. But: Tight, static, little interiors. Stock footage exteriors. Poor camera work. An apparent production budget of about $50,000 (okay, maybe a few bucks more).

The Three Amigos - with Guns!
This was a fun movie. Inside the underworld, with some icy cold-blooded killers and their intimate details. Worth a watch when you're not looking for too much depth, but you can handle something more thought-provoking than car chases and explosions.
