Assassin navigates a futuristic concept of espionage and vendetta, but struggles with coherence and engaging storytelling. The film, noted for Bruce Willis’s final appearance, elicits mixed feelings—nostalgia for the actor’s storied career against the backdrop of a narrative that could have been more polished. Despite a potentially intriguing premise involving high-tech mind transfers for covert operations, the execution falters, leaving audiences wanting more substance and less confusion.
