Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Leofwine_draca SOUL ASSASSIN is another cheap-looking Z-grade thriller with the same old plot elements and developments. SCREAM actor Skeet Ulrich plays a businessman who soon uncovers some dodgy dealings and ends up fighting for his life and the lives of those around him when he uncovers corrupt business practices that link back to his own father. This film was made in the Netherlands, but any local style is ruined by the decision to shoot the whole thing in a blue tint that renders it generic and mundane-looking. Ulrich plays this out on autopilot and isn't assisted by any of the other cast members. Some low rent action scenes are filmed in an embarrassing way and the whole thing will have you wanting to switch off half an hour in.
BigGuy I wasn't expecting that much from this movie but was pleasantly surprised. This was actually much better than a lot of the schlock that has been released in the theaters recently. The story was solid and kept my interest throughout. The ending was a little too tidy, but was definitely better than the standard Hollywood ending.Overall the acting was pretty good. Skeet Ulrich particularly did a good job in this movie and was fun to watch. I also enjoyed Kristy Swanson, although I am a fan so that might be biased.The one complaint I would have is the cinematography. I really could have done without the blue filter used for almost the entire movie. Sure it indicated the death of his soul, so to speak, but it was annoying, and the splashes of color were too jarring. Also some of the other effects just came across poorly.
Mortharer What I hated most about the film is that the building most of the film is shot in has is located in Amsterdam, but the view is of a bridge in Rotterdam for a resident of Amsterdam this would be his ultimate nightmare.then in a, i have to say, nicely shot chase on the canals, suddenly, the character played by Skeet Ulrich is in Utrecht. there are too many of these things in the movie to explain.maybe this is the cause, of the film not getting really good credits in Holland.An advice to future directors, who want to shoot a film in holland, take notice of the fact, somethings don`t mix, taking the view of the Rotterdam bridge from a Building in Amsterdam as main example.
sjmsorrentino GIVES YOUR PSYCHE A RUSH. I like it when a movie uses the medium to try something new and then pulls it off. Soul Assassin is a thriller well told and acted, but what gives your psyche a rush is the realization that you are experiencing the full force of talent and mastery. It is in the editing, the fast pacing, the change of color to refllect mood, and in the masterful use of this generation's music that plugs your senses into this cinema creation. I knew I was being taken for a ride and I savored it.
