Just saw this for the first time yesterday. Film is generally awful (make that AWWWWFUL!) Only redeeming grace is Antonio Banderas. What a pro! What charisma! Compare this film with "8 Million Ways to Die," very similar situation, wooden Anglo hero (Jeff Bridges in that film) and extremely charismatic villain (Hispanic Andy Garcia).
In fact, this latter film is better than "Assassins," because it has in addition the terrific Rosanna Arquette. Word is what sank "8 Million Ways" (which could've been a great film) was overuse of the powder "C" during principal photography. Exactly what "Assassins" needed more of.
