Assassins Tale

Finally getting away from the standard cold-blooded assassins of every other movie, Assassins Tale shows the internal conflicts such a job entails, and shows how they deal with it (often unsuccessfully). Trust no one, try to laugh, and embrace your own quirks. The plot twists are well planned, and the scenery shots are really creative, illustrating the beautiful world that surrounds these dark souls. All in all, a really fun movie to watch - reminds me a little of Pulp Fiction and The Usual Suspects, but with different twists. Arthur Louis Fuller did a great job writing and directing this, and putting together a great film on a low budget. This one is definitely worth 90 minutes of your time!

This is a film that keeps you watching. A lot of dialog, but it's interesting in itself, and if the story line gets a bit confusing at times, it all works out by the end. Although this tale deals with hit men and women, it's a slightly different take on the profession with some interesting sidelights. The soundtrack is right on and fits in perfectly with the action. I was surprised to see that this was filmed on a Top Ramen budget, but the producers made every penny work. Overall, the production values make this look like a more expensive undertaking. I hope to see more from the various actors as well as from the writers and the director. Good entertainment!

This is an OK little flick. It's a low budge movie but they seem to have spent the money wisely. The story was interesting and the acting & dialogue were equally good. It has twists and turns that are enjoyable and the characters were likable (so to speak, considering they're assassins). It has a melancholy feel to it that works pretty well. All in all I can't complain.

My general impression is, if this movie had a massive budget and big stars, the public would be falling all over itself to see it. The fact that it had none of that and was still entertaining makes it a worthwhile view.

If you come across it check it out.

The discussions between Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction started up this genre, with assassins that speak a lot about their feelings or thoughts. Those dialogues taken separately are better than most movies in this niche in their entirety and, unfortunately, Assassin's Tale falls into the same category.

The problem is that killers talking about themselves is just cutting corners on some real film making, where one would construct a story to develop the characters. Instead we are regaled with verbal diarrhea that means nothing and reveals nothing and just takes up from the viewer's time.

In this particular group of films, this one is not actually that bad. The beginning, at least, starts up very smartly, with lines that just feel original and surprising. I kept imagining what the characters would say and they would do something really different, but also real feeling. It didn't last though, as a big part of the movie was hijacked by the usual tough guy underworld and psychopathic wise guys and that sort of crap that completely balanced out the good starting bits.

And then there was the end, fragmented, pointless, unrealistic and lame. The point of a low budget movie is to show a good idea or the effort one puts into the script or acting, not to rehash an already obsolete recipe.

While I am sure the film makers meant well, I am sorry, but I cannot recommend this movie for any reason.

If you're looking for a high action assassin flick, this is not it. Although there are a few twists in the storyline, there is a lot more dialog than action. Michael Beach, Anna Silk and Guy Garner are three assassins contemplating life and love, loyalty and deceit. The scene depicted in the poster has nothing to do with the film. The budget is low, but the dialog is well written and the acting is well done. All three wonder about their inevitable future and what's to come while dealing with their current lives. Rob Roy Fitzgerald and Kaiwi Lyman also do a fantastic job. I wouldn't say this is one of my all time favs, but on a rainy Saturday afternoon I would watch this again!
