Assassins

Robert Rath (Sylvester Stallone) is the best hitman around, but the code and sense of duty that once were a part of his deadly career are lost in a post-Cold War world of free-lance guns. He wants out. Not so Miguel Bain (Antonio Banderas), a driven killer who knows how to claim the top spot of his shadowy profession: eliminate Rath. Also stars Julianne Moore.

Critic Reviews:

• " A sensational collection of gun battles, face-offs, and car chases embellishes a destructive cat and mouse endeavor. " – Mike Massie

• " An unusually serious, almost sombre thriller from the versatile action producer Joel Silver in which Stallone's a jaded assassin haunted by the past but unable to face the future. " – Janet Maslin

• " Assassins is a film that shines for its thrills, color, humor and suspense that lasts right to the very end. " – Pat Kramer
