Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Assassins
A veteran to the killing game Robert Rath (Stallone) signs on for one last mission, but his mark is also being targeted by Miguel Bain (Banderas) who is a younger, more ambitious assassin. Both assassins are targeting Electra (Moore), an internet thief, and it gets a lot more complicated for Rath when he begins to fall in love with her. It becomes more of a game of cat and mouse as Rath decides to protect Electra and Bain continues to pursue her until his death.
--Steve Polizzi, Resident Scholar
