ASSASSIN is a pretty lazy straight-to-video thriller for action man Danny Dyer, here mumbling his way through a clichéd plot in a pick-up-the-pay cheque type role. The story sees Dyer's assassin (a case of miscasting if ever there was one) working his way through various targets until he finds himself set up by his own bosses.
Everything about this film screams cheap, not least the script which is incredibly predictable from beginning to end. However, my interest was piqued by the presence of the Kemp brothers, Gary and Martin, playing two characters who could easily be the Kray twins twenty years later. The Kemps are great fun and I enjoyed their scenes, even if the rest of the movie is a drag despite the short running time.
