December 21, 2011An explosive and pulse-pounding edge of your seat action-packed thriller. It packs a full-clip of riveting suspense and fast-paced action from start to finish. It`s smart, tense, terrific and energetic. A wickedly cool and exhilerating assassin-thriller with well-drawn characters... read more

November 12, 2010Devoid of substance and plausibility, but for the better part a decent action flick. Altough the action bits are really good, there's too many flaws to get past for me to rate it any higher. One such defect is the absence of intelligent dialogue. Or perhaps I should say dialogue ... read more

May 25, 2010A really cool movie about assassins, there's really no way you can't find it entertaining on at least some level. Sylvester Stallone is great, as he always is, playing a very realistic and tragic character that regrets a lot of his past. Antonio Banderas and Julianne Moore play g... read more

July 24, 2007A hilarious action film with Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas playing competing assassins. I loved the scene where Banderas is waiting and suffering inside a dumpy building, while Stallone is enjoying the luxuries of the hotel across the street. It's great-spirited and has... read more

Although he lets Assassins run on too long, Mr. Donner gives it a dependably slick big-budget style. Full Review

Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas seem as if they didn't know quite what to do to make this implausible action drama a kick. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
In addition to Stallone's inflexible facial expression, the film is saddled with a preposterous script and hideous dialogue. Plus, it weighs in at a too-long one-hundred thirty-two minutes. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This movie is filled with such preposterous impossibilities that Forrest Gump could have improved it with a quick rewrite. Full Review

The plot becomes increasingly silly, and while some pleasure can be had in the improbable set pieces, this is not nearly as much fun as it should be. Full Review

Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine
The action is stilted and infrequent, reduced to indifferent gun play, car chases and one standout explosion when a gas main ignites. Full Review

Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
It's numbingly cold and pointless. Full Review
