With a title as bland as “Assassin Club”, one that seems to present the idea that screenwriter Thomas Dunn seemingly forgot to conjure up a better moniker for this Henry Golding thriller, it serves the dual purpose of describing a by-the-numbers globetrotting suspense-fest that could either drive the viewer into fits of boredom with the familiar beats it hits over and over again or act as a gateway drug for those new to the genre.

As befits its title, “Assassin Club,” begins with an elaborate action-heavy murder. Throughout the almost two hours it takes to unfold, the audience witnesses a few more. These intrigues unfold in a few European locales, though the locations are hardly striking, just places where the illusion of globetrotting can be created on a budget. It’s a B-movie through and through, yet one made with panache and attention to the action scenes. Director Camille Delamarre choreographs and shoots combat set-pieces in an exciting manner.
Henry Golding plays a master hitman whose latest mission is to find and kill six other assassins — the “club” of the title, though only one of his marks really matters. What transpires is more of a cat-and-mouse game between Golding’s killer and another one played by Noomi Rapace. Sam Neill lurks in the background and on the phone as Golding’s handler, who assigns the...

Stars: Henry Golding, Sam Neill, Noomi Rapace, Daniela Melchior, Claudio Del Falco, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Anastasia Doaga | Written by Thomas Dunn | Directed by Camille Delamarre
Henry Golding and Noomi Rapace headline this hitman mystery thriller from director Camille Delamarre. Sadly, Assassin Club isn’t going to do either of them any favours and the only mystery about it is how it got made in the first place.
Golding plays Morgan, one of those international assassins who’s quite happy to murder for a living, as long as his targets are certifiable bad guys like drug lords or sex traffickers. He receives his orders from Caldwell (Sam Neill), his handler-slash-mentor, and otherwise enjoys a quiet life with his girlfriend Sophie (Daniela Melchior), a primary school teacher who remains blissfully ignorant of his extra-curricular activities. However, all that changes when Morgan accepts a contract to take out seven international assassins, only to discover...

“Encanto” star John Leguizamo has signed on to executive produce short film “Triggered” from Tara Westwood.
“Triggered,” which stars Westwood, Isiah Whitlock Jr. (“Da 5 Bloods”), Caitlin Mehner (“Dopesick”) and Robert John Burke (“Law & Order Special Victim’s Unit”), deals with themes of gun violence.
“’Triggered’ is exceptional in that it doesn’t preach and never hits you over the head with a message – but I don’t know how anyone can watch it and not agree that we need to do things differently,” said Leguizamo. “Most Americans, even NRA members, already support basic changes such as improved background checks and this is a conversation that we must have. I’m so excited to be a part of this powerful piece directed and starring Tara Westwood.”
The short tells the story of Ohio (played by Whitlock Jr.) and Virginia (Mehner), who have both lost family to gun violence and who believe a senator,...

Have you ever come across a film with acting so bad that it makes it difficult for you to keep watching the film? Acting that is so bad, it is soul destroying? Well, that experience is what I had while watching The Perfect Witness, thanks to one Wes Bentley. What happened to him? His career started off solid with American Beauty, and he was great in that. But slowly and surely he seems to have declined in his abilities. I thought he was all right on P2, but anything else he seems rather unbearable. But The Perfect Witness takes the cake on his awfulness! I had trouble watching this film because his performance was so incredibly bad. What happened? Let’s try and figure it out …
