Assassins

DIRECTED BY: Richard Donner

REVIEWED: 10-12-95

Finally, finally, a Sylvester Stallone movie in which the actor utters not a single idiotic line. Sure, there are dumb moments aplenty in this tale of an assassin (Stallone) who decides to go straight when his "mark" (Julianne Moore) turns out to have more integrity than his unseen boss and the other assassin (Antonio Banderas) who's competing for the kill. Ably directed by Richard Donner (Lethal Weapon), the movie reinvigorates Stallone's claim to stardom by restraining his worst impulses, and allows Banderas to balance things out by going wild.
