• Trivia Based upon a true story.
• Goofs At the naval reception, the American flag hanging above the band is backwards. The field (the stars) should be on the left, not on the right.

Annibal Ramirez : What do you think is out there, Maura? A safe little world with your shopping malls, you little league and ballet lessons? Hey! People are killing, Maura. And I'm one of them. Not neat and surgical like firing a missle from some sub but close enough so his brains splattered on me. And they weren't even the enemy Maura. It was to keep from blowing a cover. I've killed men, I let a friend die, I betrayed everything I've ever believed in. And yes, I've fucked other women. And you know what's worse? I've made you and the children a target because someone out there is going to kill you unless I kill him first. That's my job, Mona. And if you don't mind, I'm late for work.

The Assignment Reviews

Stylistically, it’s one of Hill's most accomplished works of recent years, but unfortunately a lot of that gets lost in the shuffle with the execution of its narrative.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 29, 2023

While this is an assuredly mixed bag that’s not as funny as it seems to think it is, the instantly harsh first wave of reaction is way off.

Full Review | Jan 12, 2023

Even moving beyond its sticky politics, The Assignment is simply a lousy film.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 16, 2021

Damned shame Walter Hill had to go out like this, "transphobic" or not.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 30, 2021

...fraught and deeply problematic, graphically violent and irredeemably stupid. Rodriguez is fine, but the reason this film sticks with you is Weaver, who has never been meaner or funnier...

Full Review | Sep 10, 2021

A pulp thriller about a hitman's revenge. And at the same time, a showcase of well-known, quality actors.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 26, 2021

It's a stupid movie, incompetently constructed and completely oblivious to the poor taste in which it presents the issues of gender fluidity and expression. This film is trash. Don't watch it.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 24, 2020

Grindhouse groupies will have something to celebrate with the latest offering from maverick auteur Walter Hill, the simultaneously shameless, trashy, and generously entertaining The Assignment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 8, 2019

'The Assignment', with its tone changed, is a mere food product that goes from a research drama to pure and hard-acting film in its final stretch. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Aug 21, 2019

It's vintage meat-and-potatoes Hill, but any sense of low-brow, comic book fun continually crashes against a concrete wall made of one-note performances and a lunkhead, monologue-heavy script.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2019

The Assignment feels like a case where the audacity of the premise and the talent attached to the project kind of supercede the ultimate quality of the film, making it a must see for Hill or Weaver fans. Aside from that premise, the film struggles.

Full Review | Nov 6, 2018

So much of "The Assignment" is offensive. Rodriguez and Weaver both try to enhance the lousy material, but these fine actors deserve better than this lousy B-movie

Full Review | Nov 18, 2017

Terrific noir thriller. Rodriguez is daring, provocative and sensational as a hitman. A must-see, so rent or buy it.

Full Review | Aug 11, 2017

Instead of giving Millennials the heroic gender transition that they demand, Hill insists that we think deeper - perhaps about the media's popularizing of sex reassignment and the painful complications that such a choice entails.

Full Review | May 1, 2017

...a real curiosity and is probably destined for cult status.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 11, 2017

On the one hand, this thriller starts out with a ludicrous, wrong-headed idea, but on the other hand, as directed by Walter Hill, it's so skillful and pulpy that it could become a cult classic.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2017

Transphobia is the least of this mindless exercise's multitude of problems, beginning with the fact that the premise is so laughably implausible.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Apr 8, 2017

Under Hill's direction, Weaver doesn't seem to enjoy a moment of her sociopathy. But she's not the only one. Everyone gets a walloping here, if not a bullet to the head, in this grimy attempt at film noir.

Full Review | Apr 7, 2017

Hill, working with co-writer Denis Hamill, is going through the motions as far as the main revenge storyline is concerned.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2017

Rodriguez and Weaver are riveting. This lurid B-movie has cult following written all over it.

Full Review | Original Score: B plus | Apr 7, 2017
