What the critics say
Based on 14 reviews, The Assignment gets an average review score of 50
There's little room to talk about the ridiculous, pulpy noir plot of The Assignment, because the performances by Sigourney Weaver and Michelle Rodriguez are such knockouts.
2933d ago
Sigourney Weaver stars as a twisted surgeon and Michelle Rodriguez as the man she turns into a woman in Walter Hill's new noir thriller.
2933d ago
The Assignment is ultimately canny in genre-play and unique in its time, factors that don’t necessarily make it great, but, beyond old-man-auteurism apologia, still hold somewhat of a flame in the modern age.
2933d ago
“The Assignment” is a film that arrives in theaters having already inspired vast outpourings of anger from two groups —the transgender community, which appears to be offended by its very premise, and action buffs, who are put off both by the premise (albeit for different reasons) and what they feel is a lazy execution that fails to offer the requisite thrills.
2933d ago
In The Assignment, Michelle Rodriguez is a hitman caught between worlds.
2933d ago
Walter Hill’s The Assignment is a pulp fairy tale without a clue.
2933d ago
A vengeful doctor (played by Sigourney Weaver) turns a hit man (Michelle Rodriguez) into a woman in this thriller from filmmaker Walter Hill.
2933d ago
Walter Hill’s legacy of pushing the edges of genre conventions made the prospect of “(Re)Assignment,” at least on paper, potentially dangerous. But the filmmaker’s touch is completely lost here, and the only danger the film winds up posing is to the time spent by those who choose to watch it.
2933d ago
Because Mr. Hill is still, in most respects, Mr. Hill, a lot of the movie is more watchable than it has a right to be. But ultimately, The Assignment ends up being ridiculous even by its own nonsensical standards.
2933d ago
(re)ASSIGNMENT doesn't deserve to be as bland as it is, but that's the reality audiences will unfortunately live out.
2933d ago
The insensitivity of director Walter Hill's The Assignment springs from an over-abundance of caution.
2933d ago
The controversial premise, which sees Michelle Rodriguez playing a man turned into a woman without her consent, sets up a strong contender for 2016’s worst movie.
2933d ago
A hitman wakes up with his dude parts missing in Walter Hill's latest.
2933d ago
The handling of trans issues is all wrong here, but then so is everything else in Walter Hill’s shoddy, sloppy revenge tale.
