Assassins...

The action is stilted and infrequent, reduced to indifferent gun play, car chases and one standout explosion when a gas main ignites.

There's so much dead air floating around in this icy-cool thriller that the director, Richard Donner, seems to be trying for an art-house version of his Lethal Weapon series (The 400 Blows to Your Head?).

A not-much-fun high-tech actioner.

Banderas gets away with a lazy performance, Stallone is a lot more interesting, but Moore has the best lines.
