Customer Reviews of The Assignment
This classy "sleeper" should be on your list. Despite first appearances, this is not another James Bond clone movie with generic action sequences and almost no plot: rather it is a very believable and sophisticated psychological study of loyalty, character and human violence that just happens to have a great story and painfully realistic action scenes. If you aren't drawn right into the main character's internal drama, the KGB must have worked on you first. Great performances from Aidan Quinn, Ben Kingsley & Donald Sutherland.
Exciting action flick.
This is an exciting action flick about how the CIA, through the use of a look-alike, supposedly ended the career of the famous terrorist/assasin named Carlos. Aidan Quinn is excellent both as Carlos and as the naval officer who is Carlos' reluctant double. Ben Kingsley and Donald Sutherland are also quite effective as the Israeli and American Intelligence officers running the operation. There are some great scenes of teaching the naval officer how to "be" Carlos, and a terrific chase sequence. I really enjoyed this movie. END
Intelligent thriller
A US Naval officer (Aidan Quinn) with a striking resemblance to an international terrorist (Quinn again) is recruited to impersonate him in a complex plot to discredit him before his KGB superiors. This is a very interesting film that has more to offer than just action. Some of the most fascinating sequences come early in the film as CIA agent Jack Fields (Donald Sutherland) and Mossad agent Amos (Ben Kingsley) supervise the training that is supposed to enable him to behave convincingly in his new role--training that really seems more like brain-washing. This is clearly not a big-budget film, but it makes the best of what it has. It is not predictable by any means--the final shot will leave you guessing.
