Audience Member Michael Beach & Anna Silk are the only reasons I even watched this... honestly, it was kind of bland. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member If you ook past the poor acting of one of the characters in this film. Then you will have a Quentin like trip down memory lane. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member too much things happening at the same time to follow the plot Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible. It may have a great cast but that is about all you can say about this movie. Don't waste your time or money. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst assassin movies in a long time. The story line is so dry and flat it would drain water from the sun... really? you numb nuts start feeling bad for killing people after murdering 500 people? come on Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This may be the only review of this little gem of a film, and that's a shame. This is a low budget venture that feels bigger. Very creative and stylized with good performances by the lead actors, this should have seen at least a limited release in theaters. With bigger names, I am sure we would be hearing more about this film. Interesting storytelling choices by director Arthur Louis Fuller give this complicated tale an edge. With an obvious nod to Tarantino (as well as a few other filmmakers), the story focuses on three assassins, with a number of sub-plots and characters entering the picture. Michael Beach, Anna Silk and Guy Garner (co-writer with director Fuller) portray the three assassins and give their characters an "every man" feel about them, dealing with the real life issues most of us deal with. No stereotypical hitmen here. I especially enjoyed the performances of Garner and Kaiwi Lyman, who plays the ring leader of these assassins. Really good actors I'd like to see more of. The director left a lot of questions unanswered, forcing the audience to draw its own conclusions. I watched this film with my wife and another couple. We discussed and argued certain story points and ended up watching it again. It was better the second time around! While not perfect, Assassins Tale is a thinking mans/womans film, and I highly recommend it and hope to see more reviews on here. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
