Assassination (1987)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Fresh and Exciting

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I feel kinda bad for Bronson, he's such a cool guy but his talent got wasted in many bad movies by the Hollywood Jews who's main motivation is making money with the least effort or talent. The story is bad, real bad. Totally shallow, no surprising twists, nothing. Forgettable.

Let me start by saying that Charles Bronson is one of my favorite actors and I think my mom found this one on VHS at a flea market back in 2015.This movie is honestly pretty good, it's entertaining if not a little corny in places but I love it anyway.Charles is a bad ass action hero in these action movies I'm a fan of his Death Wish films I haven't seen him in a lot but I'm planing on trying to find more with him.I like in this story that he plays a secret service agent hired to protect the First lady who he doesn't really like, that I feel is a nice change of pace, then your typical standard story, it made for some nice levels of comedy.Overall, I give it a 6/10. It's just a fun action film that you can sit back enjoy, and seeCharles Bronson kick some terrorist ass.Highly recommended.

More latter day Chuck Bronson action fodder from Cannon Group has Ole Stoneface starring as a Secret Service Agent Jack "Killi" Killion, attempting to keep the US President's wife, The First Lady(Mrs. Charles Buchinski, Jill Ireland)from being assassinated at the hands of a terrorist paid by the White House Chief of Staff(there's no way I could make this plot up if I tried!). Most of the film has Ireland's Mrs. Craig and Killion moving cross country on a road trip as hit-man, Eddie Bracken(Erik Stern)and his gunmen follow in pursuit. Michael Ansara has a supporting part as Senator Hector Bunsen, the one responsible for the terrorist chasing after Mrs. Craig. Jan Gan Boyd is Killion's much younger lover and member of his Secret Agent team. The film benefits from the sparks that often ignite between feisty, acid-tongued Ireland and the more subdued and laid back Bronson, somehow bonding while on the lam despite the obvious tension. A secret revealed by The First Lady about her President husband, regarding his impotence and her reason for marrying him is rather amusing, as is the underlying purpose behind her assassination. Not as gratuitously violent or repellent as other movies starring Bronson during this decade. While certainly no FROM NOON TIL THREE in regards to the husband and wife's best work together, there are still moments here and there between the two that makes ASSASSINATION enjoyable.

I was a little disappointed after re-watching 'Assassination'. It was a good piece, but it wasn't the non-stop action pack feature that I remembered. A bad thing… not really. Typical Bronson venture done through Cannon productions? Yes and no. However it's a typical story (even though quite ludicrous at times), but it felt rather low-scale (think of Bronson's 'Messenger of Death' the following year) with its thriller elements and explosively sparse action. Surprisingly when the action did kick into gear, the stunt work and positioning was impressive, but where the film's drive came from was the budding rapport between Charles Bronson (whose appealingly laid-back) and Jill Ireland (diving right into the role with convincing aplomb). Outside of those two I found the rest of the performances sub-standard.The plot is a tautly twisty (but far-fetched) cross-country political thriller that has veteran Secret Agent Jay Killian assigned to protect the demandingly stuck-up first lady, where he uncovers a devious plot involving assassins out to her kill her. It's a complex web, but the material seems to breeze through rather concentrating on the combination of the two main characters and their growing respect for each other. It can be dramatically soapy, but never does it feel as if it's really taking itself seriously due to some forced humour coming from the script. This doesn't stall it at all. Director Peter Hunt (who also directed Bronson with Lee Marvin in the 1981 rugged survival thriller 'Death Hunt') does a conventionally efficient job, even with some sequences coming across as if made for a TV show. When it came to the vigorously pumped-up activity, Hunt was at the top his game accommodating a no-bull approach and the productively scope-like cinematography passes through the top-notch scenic locations with verve-like ease.Earnestly slick filler.
