Assassins (1995)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 3/04, 4/06

4/06: Assassins would've been a 100% thrilling action-adventure picture if Julianne Moore hadn't gotten in the way.

I've enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game between Antonio Banderas and Sylvester Stallone, and it's the best part. Actually, strike that...the best part is Antonio Banderas. He's exciting and fun, giving the movie a pulse.

Sylvester Stallone, playing Robert Rath, is good by countering Antonio Banderas' antics. They're like light and kerosene and just flame together. I love the story and the use of flashbacks to settle a grudge.

Sadly, it's ruined by every scene that Julianne Moore appears in. I kept yelling at her to get the hell out of the way. Take a gander at the movie poster to see what I mean. That's why she's one of the most useless actresses today.

All in all, I'm looking forward to the director's cut of Assassins that's completely free of Julianne Moore.
