THE COLOR BLUE.......2005-09-01

SOUL ASSASSIN could have been a fairly entertaining little thriller. It has a complex plot with lots of twists and false leads, and some skillful performances from supporting players Rena Owen and Derek De Lint. However, director Laurence Malkin decided to film 90 percent of it with a blue filter; erratic MTV-style choppy scenes and focused very little on the script or its performers. Hence, all we get is a muddled tale of corporate deception and murder. The use of the blue screen and its chaotic camerawork serves only to make the film more annoying than entertaining. Skeet Ulrich is lost in the miasmic mess and the original Buffy (Kristy Swanson) just floats around with a gun in her hand most of the movie. A potentially good movie murdered by its execution.

Confusion Abounds.......2005-05-24

On the surface, this movie had everything
it takes to score a hit (minus a Grade-A cast).
However it missed the marked by a longshot.
It's obvious that the writers invested much
effort into creating an original storyline.....
and they succeeded. However, their creative ideas
did not transfer well into the script. The result
is a collosal mess of confusion.

It is VERY difficult to follow. Everyone is implicated
in everything. The victims are the perpetraters. The
Good people are the Bad People. The past is the
future and the future is the present. More talented
writers could have parlayed these contradictions into
an ecxiting suspense thriller. Unfortunatly, it appears that
talent,in general, was in short supply across the board.

The action is slightly better, but not by much. The most
ridiculous thing about this movie is that the main character (kevin)
can't fight. He gets beaten up in every fight sequence and
even gets killed at the end. (And he's supposed to be the
star/hero?) His performance of the fight choreography is blooper-reel quality at best.
To save money, the producers could have
pulled any 5 year old off the playground
and gotten a more effective performance. The other actors are convincing,
but Kevin should have had PUNK tatooed across his forehead.

In spite of my negativity regarding this film, I still give
it a 3, based on a great story IDEA, and some really good
fight scenes with the elusive female agent at the end.

Very Pleasant Surprise.......2003-03-01

If you love action, Europe and fast paced stories, this one is for you. If not, then take a pass. Much like Nikita, Bourne Identity and other great Euro thrillers Soul Assassin is not as formulaic as most American action films and I really enjoyed the fresh new actors from Holland (I assume). Skeet and Kristy were good, but Kristy should have been in the movie more. A fault of an otherwise passable script. Nothing too special there, but the movie has a unique view. A very blue view. Personally I liked it. Along with the sound, which is loud and great. The story was confusing at times, then it all makes sense in the end. No spoilers here, but I was definitely surprised by the final events. I probably should give the film a 4/5 but because of the end I have to give it a 5/5.

Good 'Action' movie.......2003-01-12

The plot, while at times are to see, is there. I would say that the majority of the scenes that attempted emotional impact were fufilled as a result of pretty good acting. The DVD has some other cool stuff on it. I will admit though that the visuals, while interesting, were a bit nausiating. A lot of quick, extreme camera movement. The blue filter was very appropriate. There is a screen flashing technique that the director overused a bit.
Good action movie to see once or twice. Very fufulling ending, if you followed the plot...

torture.......2003-01-02

This entire film is done in Blue and White (no not black and white). Which is torture on the eyes. I got 3/4 of the way through and gave up in disgust cause my eyes were killing me from the dreary color scheme. Awful.
