The Hollywood Reporter gives (Re)Assignment high marks
PostED ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2016
Soon projected on the big screen at the Lumière festival for its French premiere, (Re)Assignment, the new film by Walter Hill, a.k.a. the high priest of action flicks (who also has it on his mind), begins to generate some serious chatter in the United States.
The highly influential Hollywood Reporter has just churned out a glowing review of this tautly wound thriller, which pits Frank, a hitman (Michelle Rodriguez), against a surgeon (Sigourney Weaver). The doctor, wanting to avenge the murder of her brother, unbeknownst to Frank, performs full gender-reassignment surgery.
Excerpt:
"For longtime fans of the filmmaker, this Canadian-made low-budget revenge yarn will be embraced as Hill’s most entertaining and, on the terms it sets for itself, accomplished film in some time. It’s an instant cult item."
