Has there ever been a time when a person unexpectedly does something to you that they wouldn't do on a regular day. It could be that this thing they are doing is something you usually do to other people. So, you get the chance to feel how other people feel whenever you do that to them? I hope I didn't end up confusing you.
The movie Assassin Club has a similar plot to the aforementioned narration I gave. I like it very much whenever the plot of a movie is clearly defined. It gets really boring when I watch a movie without structure.
My first impression about the movie wasn't a good one. From the name, I felt it would be a mundane movie with ancient settings and possibly poor video quality. Want to know if I was right or wrong?
About The Movie.
An exclusive assassin is given a final contract just when he is about to change his ways. This contract which has a really enticing reward involves killing seven people. Without so much of a choice, he accepts the offer.
Along the line, he discovers that his targets have a similar mission; to end him. The only way he would survive this is if he gets to uncover the mastermind behind the conspiracy. The battle begins.
Released on the 16th of May,2023, Assassin's club is an action thriller movie with inexorable violence. The movie was directed by the French movie editor and director, Camille Dalamarre. Believe me when I say that assassins club is one movie you would enjoy watching.
Cast
Before I throw more light on each cast, I would like to say that each and every one of the casts performed amazingly. It must have taken some time to get them into their roles because reading scripts about assassins and actually acting like one are two very different things. There wasn't a time when I caught any of them off guard and that is just brilliant if you ask me.
Daniela Melchior as Sophie

This would be my first time seeing Daniele as an actor and she did very well. Daniela, with the character name Sophie, played the role of a very innocent and jolly young lady. She happened to be the partner of an assassin for four good years without even the slightest hint. Yes, she was that gullible.
But like they say, the truth would always prevail in one way or another. Along the line, she finds out her partner's secret and makes a life changing decision. Sophie was one very unpredictable character which made watching her even more interesting.
Henry Golding as Morgan

For a character this conspicuous, the name Morgan took me by surprise. Morgan is the elite assassin who received the contract. He was proof that not all assassins are actually bad people.
Morgan also played the role of the guy with double personalities. A loving partner to a beautiful lady in the day and an elite assassin who never missed a target at night. Just thrilling.
Sam Neill as Caldwell

At first, Caldwell's role was a bit hard to pick up but a few scenes into the movie, his true identity was unravelled. Caldwell was an ex-military personnel who took Morgan, alongside other people under his arms, trained them and sent them into the world as assassins.
He tried his best to trade with caution at every point in time but karma always bites back and the bite is never a painless one. It stings.
Noomi Rapace as Falk

Falk was the most controversial and frankly most interesting character to watch. She also took up split identities and with each of the identities, she was on top of the game. Although she turned out to be a villain, I enjoyed watching every bit of her performance.
Falk was also an assassin who probably didn't gain enough recognition. We all know that such people sometimes do terrible things just to get what they want.
My Opinion.

"Impressed" would be a good word to describe my opinion. This movie actually beat my expectations and not by a small margin. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen a movie with assassin's for some years now or maybe because sometime last year, many of the movies with the "assassin" title were not to standard. Whichever option it is, it feels good to finally see a movie about assassins with a nice plot and an intriguing end. The stunts were classic, the videography was good and each cast seemed to be in character.
One scene that was really intriguing to me was the part where Folk decided to pay Morgan back for what he did to her. The payback was topnotch and very grand considering the fact that she organised it in less than 24 hours after she was attacked.
On a few occasions, I caught myself trying to detect which character was the mastermind behind the whole plot. I read meaning into the slightest of body language. It was really entertaining. It felt like I was an undercover detective that the cast didn't know about:)
From the way the movie ended, it feels like there is certainly going to be a sequel and boy, I can't wait! If the sequel is anything close to the initial movie, then I'm confident it would be a good watch too.
Recommendation.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. It was a burst of action, suspense and thrills. If you're a movie lover then you would know that these three combinations lead to so much glee. This movie will definitely be worth your time. Do not hesitate to check it out.
