You pretty much know, what you're in for with a Charles Bronson flick, made with his friends, Golan and Globus, and "No" J Lee Thompson, didn't direct this one. Charles Bronson is of course, mild mannered Charles Bronson, no Oscar feat here. He is outshone by his talented support players, of course Ireland, the first lady to the American president. Bronson, a secret service agent, is assigned to protect Ireland, something, both parties are begrudgingly against, who are brought together after a number of well staged assassination are made on her. Assassination does deliver on action, more than many other Bronson/Golan Globus flicks. It's a very good action movie, one of those really good fast paced yarns, where the bald baddie, has never looked better in a nasty shock violent moment. It's plot is straight forward, and is not really much in the thriller stakes. We make who the baddies and goodies our, though with veteran Prince, who plays Ireland's Dad, on moment had me doubting. Another cute attribute sas to other Bronson pics, has a young Korean hottie colleague, Bronson is dating, warning and checking in with him, to make he's not fooling around. In one scene, where Ireland, falls in front of Bronson, in a motel room, a romantic moment almost ensues. I know it would have been good to see a affair develop between the real life couple, but this pairing is strictly professional, and in this movie, it's a better choice to avoid this, I think, instead of falling into that cliché'd lovey dovey soppiness. The film is well written and takes a realistic and interesting look behind what's involved in protecting model figures and in the presidency itself, this time a corrupt one, involving the most important figure. It kind of has you wondering if Trump was elected, would he stoop to the same cold acts. As I just spoke about the realistic approach, another Golan Globus familiarity, via The Delta Force film, was where the motorbikes too, shot out little rockets. This just adds positively to the zest of this good action yarn.

I just saw this movie and the beginning started out pretty good and kind of funny between Ireland and Bronson. Just let you all know that I believe that Jill will go lethal with the shoe she had on if you mess with her so DON'T. But then at the middle of the movie, it had ups and downs. The first thing about it is that most of the action scenes go a little too fast and some of the non-action scenes go little fast too but other wise, the film is pretty good. Just to let you know that this is the last film that Charles and Jill are together and still do good being together in this film and I hope you you all enjoy the film.I give this a 7/10
