Review of Assassination

Assassination (1987)
1/10
Lame conspiracy thriller featuring a near comatose Charles Bronson
22 July 2014
Among the worst Charles Bronson films he did with Golan Globus. This conspiracy thriller lacks intensity, action or much of anything.

The story involves Bronson (looking haggard at 64) as a former Special Forces turned Secret Service Agent, who has to protect the obnoxious new first lady played by Jill Ireland. Soon the couple, have to go on the run, as assassins are hot on their tail.

The story is bland as ever and the movie feels more like a pensioner holiday in the countryside than a thriller. Even more egregious is the inappropriate romance between Charles Bronson and his much younger female agent. Additionally, the dialogue is trite and juvenile. Skip and avoid this embarrassment of a movie.
