I can understand the need for Re-makes of movies but the general aim is to try to improve on the original this remake is so bad it ruins the entire story. The Assassin is a low budget remake intended only to reap money from people unfortunate enough not to know about the original or too Arrogant to watch a foreign film or those who may mistakenly believe The US version is always better. Am so glad i saw this on free TV i was amazed to see such a bad remake given the usual high budget of US movies ( ie US version of The Ring is better than the original).
The acting is worse, script is bad and unbelievable (original was believable and near flawless, And shot on location in Europe) One example is shooting multiple rounds from a bolt action rifle without reloading ! - In La Feme Nakita she uses a Steyr Automatic rifle. Action is badly done - the original has fantastic action and effects and is well researched and likable characters. While the Assassin's hi profile b-grade actors just seem to drag it down even further.
Watch the Original La Femme Nikita it rocks. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100263/
