The Assassination File Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Memorergi good film but with many flaws
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
actionfilm-2 This film is certainly nothing special, but worth watching over much of what passes for entertainment these days. Disgraced female FBI agent Lauren Jacobs (Sherilyn Fenn) takes on rogue operatives within the highest ranks of government. The film's characters act in a rational manner for the most part, and there is enough action to keep everyone on their toes, including a nicely staged foot chase. Other than Paul Winfield (as a Presedential candidate) there are not many familiar faces here. Sherilyn Fenn as the heroine does a admirable job in carrying the film, which would fit nicely as the second feature on a double bill with Eastwood's In The Line Of Fire.
helpless_dancer Re-hash of the old governmental agency gone bad. After a former agent gets on their trail and threatens to blow their cover, an organization within the FBI rubs out several folks to keep the lid on their nasty little conspiracy. Lots of action and excitement kept the pace up and I enjoyed the film, but don't go in looking for anything new with this one.
hawkman217 The Assassination File, starring several familiar faces from TV, was a pretty good political mystery/thriller. I found Sherilyn Fenn believable as a former FBI agent who has to eventually find out who killed a presidential candidate she was responsible for guarding.The supporting characters did a good job with their roles; I was never sure who was trustworthy, which is a plus with who-done-it movies.I found myself wanting the story to go on after the conclusion because I really cared about the main characters. I think Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks, Boxing Helena) is probably the most beautiful actress working, so I may be a little prejudiced, but I thought she did a great job in this film. I liked it (and her) enough to rent some more of her older films to see.Score: 7
Phrenzy This film is indeed one of many in a tired, tired genre. Dan Butler gives the only mentionable performance, but even this is strained by the predictable ending. The senator's son, who I assume we are supposed to feel for, is a sneering brat, and I was jealous of the senator himself who was granted an early, merciful relief from this stinker.
