Assassin, The - BLU-RAY Version
(1993)
|
In a grim future America, Maggie (Bridget Fonda), a beautiful young street punk, is about to be executed for killing a cop during a robbery, and is given the choice between death and becoming a government assassin. She accepts the latter and is trained in all manner of martial (and feminine) arts. She ably carries out her deadly assignments, and is groomed to become a powerful killer. Maggie is given a new identity and is sent to Venice, California, where she begins her new life as the seductive Claudia. But she assumes the role a little too well, ditching her image as amoral murderess and falling in love with a photographer (Dermot Mulroney). Now she wants out, but the government isn't about to let her go without a fight. Director John Badham's remake of French director Luc Besson's LA FEMME NIKITA is a stylish and thrilling adaptation, featuring a solid performance from Bridget Fonda. |
