The plot is cheesy and unbelievable, the dialogue is cheesy and unbelievable and delivered in monotones, the acting is lifeless and unbelievable.
I got the feeling it was written that way on purpose to try to give it a certain tone. Unfortunately that tone is monotone. I like my trained assassin revenge stories to have some passion, and this one had all the passion of a rock at the bottom of the arctic ocean.
I assume the plot is supposed be over-dramatized, with the fancy assassin club and super fake-looking "cover" businesses and the super-sinister boys-club "company" that does ... things of some sort, I assume. Other than order people to be assassinated by the girls-club assassin guild. But it was so badly over-stylized that it just came across as stiff and fake.
It also skipped over the big fight scenes, I assume because they couldn't make them look believable - not that that stopped them in any other scene.
It does have the dubious honor of being by far the most boring assassin movie I've ever seen.
