Lessons For an Assassin (2001)

Member Rating:

Oversexed, drug-dealing thug Gavin Matthews (Robert Vitelli) is abducted by The Corporation, run by ominous executive Quinn (Michael Dorn), and is put through a comprehensive and compulsory training program to become an assassin. Apparently The Corporation objects to how justice is meted out in the courts, so they take punishment into their own hands. Gavin is trained by comely Fiona (Shannon Lee), but when the pair discover what Quinn and his cronies are really up to, they rebel and try to quit. But, of course, no one can quit this Corporation without dying first. But wait -- how did Gavin's dead girlfriend return to the scene? There must be more to this than meets the eye. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

This movie drained 1 hour and 24 minutes of my time. I've seen some VERY bad kung-fu before, but this sucks eggs. Michael Dorn should have never signed on for this chicken. The plot -- what there is of it -- has this 'drug addict' turned into a super soldier. Heh. Right. And drug addicts come as muscled and hard bodied as Robert Vitelli. Vitelli's action sequences are wooden, not even close to the fluidity of Jackie Chan or Jet Li. Even worse is the obligatory "training montage" as the hero trains from a incompetent martial artist to one that could beat up the bad guys. Vitelli already is a martial artist -- and his clumsy attempts to portray a drug addict that can't fight is weak at best. Clump a weak supporting cast, worse than "Phantom Menace" wooden script, and you've got Lessons For An Assasin. By the way, Dorn takes a bullet to the forehead at the end. He's really the bad guy - and consipiracy theories and all make this 3 room set of a movie bomb.
