Film Review – Assassin Club

A game of death is meant to break out in “Assassin Club,” but the film is far more interested in conversations than aggressive actions. A production like this needs a true leader, and there isn’t one in director Camille Delamarre, who’s made some dismal actioners in his career (including “The Transporter Refueled” and “Brick Mansions”), and his streak continues here, with the helmer striving to go full Michael Bay mode with this study of survival involving a noble killer trying to take out colleagues before they end his life. There’s the possibility of an engaging ride as a battle royal begins, but screenwriter Thomas Dunn is married to his twisty plot, keeping the characters conversing and threatening, which severely limits the momentum of the endeavor. “Assassin Club” has trained hitmen on the run to murder one another, crossing the globe to do so, but the whole thing is just impossibly dull.
