Leofwine_draca SOUL ASSASSIN is another cheap-looking Z-grade thriller with the same old plot elements and developments. SCREAM actor Skeet Ulrich plays a businessman who soon uncovers some dodgy dealings and ends up fighting for his life and the lives of those around him when he uncovers corrupt business practices that link back to his own father. This film was made in the Netherlands, but any local style is ruined by the decision to shoot the whole thing in a blue tint that renders it generic and mundane-looking. Ulrich plays this out on autopilot and isn't assisted by any of the other cast members. Some low rent action scenes are filmed in an embarrassing way and the whole thing will have you wanting to switch off half an hour in.

breadmasta This movie never should have been made...maybe thats why it literally burned through the projector at its first screening at Cannes. The whole idea of timing a movie to be cold and lonely is fine...just don't follow this film's color timing by cranking the wheel all the way to the blue side. Definitely don't time the ENTIRE movie blue either. What ever happened to making movies that made you FEEL the film instead just watching it. Well thats how this one FEELS...like having your hand held by your babysitter as she tells you exact whats happening on the screen (or maybe that would be a blind interpreter). The story was boring, already been done, and unrealistic. Perfect formula for films that go straight to video.

danyael_x The Name Soul Assassin has little and to obscure relevance for the actual plotline in the film, the actors have been given nondeveloped characters with a hollowfeeling to them. THe plot and storyline is waterd out by an abundant reuse of fottage in annoying flashbacks that does noting to further develop the story, and has been spiced up with exessive gunfighting. The so called "bad guys" are to the brink of total lack of grey brain matter. The Director of Photography and the Director of the movie seems to occasionally forget that it is a thriller they are shooting, and not an MTV musicvideo, by exessive use of stroboscopic effects and fottage that has no relevance for the movie. The only good thing is the end, where thy desided to throw out all rules of "good vs bad guys" classic movies. Thats the only good point.Skeet Ulrich did a better jop in Chill Factor. It is by far the wors film I have ever seen. No film that I have seen in the conspiracy genre has even been this bad, I thought that X-files the movie was bad. I now know better.

sjmsorrentino GIVES YOUR PSYCHE A RUSH. I like it when a movie uses the medium to try something new and then pulls it off. Soul Assassin is a thriller well told and acted, but what gives your psyche a rush is the realization that you are experiencing the full force of talent and mastery. It is in the editing, the fast pacing, the change of color to refllect mood, and in the masterful use of this generation's music that plugs your senses into this cinema creation. I knew I was being taken for a ride and I savored it.
