Four Assassins (2013)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

i must have seen a different film!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Marcus (Will Yun Lee) is a paid assassin who operates with a sense of humor and a touch of noir. He is visited by three fellow assassins. Cordelia (Mercedes Renard) is the jilted ex-girlfriend who is still bitter. Chase (Oliver Williams) is the new guy who is "more British than Brit." And Eli (Miguel Ferrer) a sentimental mentor with a bad heart. It seems Marcus was supposed to perform two hits, but only did one. The other three assassins are there to find out why, one way or another...and make things right.The film is more like a play. Except for the flashbacks, it takes place in one hotel room. There is great interaction among the characters. The audience knows things aren't as they seem. There has got to be a big twist, some major pre-planned turn of events, an ending that puts the icing on the cake. Unfortunately, what is a good film lacks the expected climax.

Four assassin movie is story of four people and all of them are assassin so in this movie one guy got the work for killing couple but he didn't kill both of them that is why other three are in his place to find out what happen why didn't he competed his job. In this movie there are three guys one girl and girl was his ex-girlfriend, one guy is very aggressive, one guy is boss. In the starting everyone sitting and having lunch together telling their past assassin story to each other. Sometime after lunch the aggressive guy started killing everyone than fight between them started. Movie is created totally in one room. So, there is no much for director to make this even better if actors are more professional this movie can became excellent only because of the actors this movies is not that up to mark. I have seen lots of movies where director have nothing to do much so, those movie made better by the actors and these film lacking that. If you are planning to watch these movies I will better suggest skip it.

My main gripe really is the timing, which seemed to get worse and worse the closer to the end it got. It also felt a bit like they were trying to imitate formulas they had seen in other movies, not to say "It's pretentious", which would be a bit too much. The story is OK but not remarkable, I'd even almost say "forgettable". The (very very rare) action is OK, nothing remarkable.If I'd HAVE TO say either "watch" or "don't watch", I'd immediately say "don't watch", but I don't mean to say that the movie is awful. There are just so many better things to spend 80 (long-ass) minutes with. OK, I seem to need about 10 words more for this to pass.

Contrary to some of the user reviews, this is actually a worthwhile, claustrophobic drama. If you're expecting a "bang-bang-guns-ablazing-shoot'em up" as suggested by the title -- look elsewhere.But if you're into a character study of four killers examining how they got to where they are while dealing with an unfinished hit, then this is for you. Yes, it takes it's time. But it's a rewarding slow build to a tense climax.Will Yun Lee and Miguel Ferrer are stand-outs in a well-rounded cast. The movie's few action sequences are expertly choreographed and executed with style. Camera work is inventive given that the majority of the story takes place in one location. Even the music is impressive.All in all, this is a classy indie movie.
