Action. Thriller Robert Rath is a seasoned hitman who just wants out of the business with no back talk. But, as things go, it ain't so easy.

United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Believe me, I know how to believe stuff when it happens in the movies. I believe bicycles can fly. I believe sharks can eat boats. I even believe pigs can talk. But I do not believe 'Assassins' (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] has a few suspenseful confrontations, but to get to them you have to wade through countless scenes of monosyllabic brooding"	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Although he lets Assassins run on too long, Mr. Donner gives it a dependably slick big-budget style."	NEU
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"The action is stilted and infrequent (...) Elsewhere it drags, waiting for very little to occur (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"Noisy, shallow and glibly violent."	NEG
United States	Jack Mathews Los Angeles Times	"Donner’s low-key (...) and some surprisingly effective chemistry between its two male stars make it a better show than most in the action genre."	POS
United States	Peter Stack SFGATE	"Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas seem as if they didn't know quite what to do to make this implausible action drama a kick."	NEG
