Brazil is a contract killer, willing to take any job if the price is right. Flint left the assassin game when a ruthless drug dealer’s brutal attack left his wife in a coma. When a contract is put out on the same coldblooded drug dealer, both Brazil and Flint want him dead – one for the money, the other for revenge. With crooked Interpol agents and vicious members of the criminal underworld hot on their trail, these two assassins reluctantly join forces to quickly take out their target before they themselves are terminated.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Arvin Solsona I like how the film started like I thought Assassination Game is literally a game like the film, "the tournament". But it really doesn't work out for me. The film is just so usual as a point of view of an assassin to kill a target, the only thing that is unique with the film is, two assassins were turned partners; plot to assassinate a gangster and other government official who had previously left with an unfinished business among the two assassin.Assassination game is terribly made, bad lighting that should not incorporate with, because it looks over exposed, too many cliche's scene, and should have ended with the first half of the movie.
SnoopyStyle Roland Flint (Scott Adkins) takes a job to kill the recently released drug lord Polo Yakur who put his wife in a coma. Just as he is about to take the killshot, he's interrupted by assassin-for-hire Vincent Brazil (Jean-Claude Van Damme). They both fail in their attempts and reluctantly join forces against corrupt Interpol agents to hunt down their elusive target.Ernie Barbarash is very much a B-movie director. The start is too disjointed trying to get the movie going. The movie improves once the two guys team up. They are able to develop a little bit of chemistry. Adkins is a bit stiff but Van Damme has a small amount of fun. Van Damme has that faded star quality and would make for a good villain. This is not that bad but it doesn't exceed its B-movie DNA.
KineticSeoul Despite this movie being a cheap straight to DVD action movie, I really wanted to like it. Mainly because it has Jean-Claude Van Damme and Scott Adkins in it. Plus I was really in the mood for an action movie. The plot is so generic and has been done better, about two guys who are good at what they do teaming up plot-line. Yes, it's been done but much better. And the fight sequence between Jean-Claude Van Damme and Scott Adkins is just super weak. That has to do with Van Damme getting old, but man it was weak. The dialogue is super cheesy and the dialogue is equally bad. I wanted to see some cool fight sequences but it even lacked in that department. Even the action was so freaking cheesy and has been done before, if you have seen a few action movies. Chances are you will see the same or similar parts in this one. The execution was even poor. Plus this isn't one of those movies you can roast with a group of friend either. Just pass on this one even if it has Jean-Claude Van Damme and Scott Adkins in it, which was the main reason I saw it in the first place. There is so many noticeable plot-holes in this that it's just ridiculous. The bad guys are super idiots and the assassins makes choices that just doesn't make any sense.3/10
refinedsugar When corrupt Interpol agents spring a powerful drug dealer from prison and put a hefty price on his head in hopes of luring out their former #1 contract hit-man that they want dead who has a dark history with said drug dealer and another elite assassin is in the mix, you know things are about to get … complicated.Jean Claude Van Damme, Scott Adkins in a film called Assassination Games and here's the rub. Its not the type of flick you're picturing in your head. Okay maybe that's a half truth. The prerequisite elements are within. Guns, death, fisticuffs, deception, etc and it gets off to a brief but predictable action start, but then slow city. Between Van Damme's detached, solitary arch of a (hit)man and Adkins broken past, there's a lot of drama and the pacing is monumentally slow. No wham, bam thank you ma'am. Its nearly two hours long.Shot down and out in Romania, much of the film's backdrop isn't visually intensive / interesting. That doesn't mean it isn't well shot however. Watched in SD, felt like HD. Acting wise, the two leads acquit themselves fine and some of the supporting cast actually stood out. The story could be more exciting and/or shorter, but as it is, Assassination Games finds itself not at the bottom of either stars resumes, but hardly at the top neither.
