the leading man is my tpye

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Two assassins agree to work together as one tries to avenge his wife and the other collect a reward for a job. Assassination Games (2011) is far away from the masterpiece that you would expect it to be but both Jean Claude Van Damme and Scott Adkins are amazing threw out the whole film, the villains were kinda forgettable especially that Polo guy but they served their purpose well into you know get murdered? The soundtrack was also pretty good and of course there was no doubt that the film has some terrific action sequences and fights but certain things like the villains and the pacing could have been better in my opinion. (6.5/10)

Roland Flint (Scott Adkins) takes a job to kill the recently released drug lord Polo Yakur who put his wife in a coma. Just as he is about to take the killshot, he's interrupted by assassin-for-hire Vincent Brazil (Jean-Claude Van Damme). They both fail in their attempts and reluctantly join forces against corrupt Interpol agents to hunt down their elusive target.Ernie Barbarash is very much a B-movie director. The start is too disjointed trying to get the movie going. The movie improves once the two guys team up. They are able to develop a little bit of chemistry. Adkins is a bit stiff but Van Damme has a small amount of fun. Van Damme has that faded star quality and would make for a good villain. This is not that bad but it doesn't exceed its B-movie DNA.

A small handful of better than average action sequences highlight an otherwise generic and trite tale of two assassins with different tactics and end goals searching for whomever set them up. Van Damme fans would be much better off watching JCVD for a good latter- day Damme flick. As he performance in here is good, but the movie is mundanely average at best. There's also a prostitute sub-plot that's admittedly pretty awful. As the movie wore on I found myself less and less interested in a film hat I couldn't help but believe I saw before in minor variations in the past. And better, in all honesty.My Grade: C-

Keep in mind this is a 9 out of 10 for Jean Claude movies. I have them all and this one will be added soon. This was a good movie to show Jean Claude is back and ready for some better roles. He did not try to step out farther than his acting chops allow, but highlighted what he is good at, the strong silent type. His fellow screen-mates were all interesting, even though some clichés were readily identifiable. Loved the turtle and was super relieved he did not get squashed in the midst of battles. We loved it that all of the bad guys get it in the end. Was a little disappointed in how easily the main villain was let off after everything he had done... oh well... I hope this is a sign of things to come and that we can expect Jean to be back in action soon. This looks to be the case considering the films that show in post production on his page.
