Reviews:
“Unfortunately for a film that, according to its director, is “an exploration of identity” the characters seem to have absolutely no care for the lives and identities they destroy. And that in turn makes it very hard for me to give a f*ck about them or their fates. As for Willis himself, he has a fair amount of screen time and actually shares scenes with the rest of the cast.” 2 out of 5, Voices from the Balcony
Release:
In the US, Assassin will be released by Saban Films On-Demand (VOD) and Digital platforms on March 31, 2023.
