      Yasser Medina Cinefilia As a debut feature, it certainly shows Petri's political commitment and early aesthetic inclinations, but its police plot seems anchored to a uselessly repeated record of interrogations. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com An excellent debut film from one of Italian cinema's most underrated auteurs, The Assassin is one of Mastroianni's most loathsome characters. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member A kafkaesque tale of a man falsely accused of murder, but although innocent the focus is squarely on his inner world. Reminiscent of Camus's work. Mastroianni is brilliant as the unscrupulous victim. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
