spy vs spy thriller only substitute assassin for spy

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2005)

I found this movie quite similar to the Jack Nicholson Kathleen Turner film "prizzi's Honor" back in 1985. I found the plot this time to be a bit predictable. and as such, the action was OK but the plot was really a snoozer. It was a bit funny though to see a couple of hit persons at a marriage counselor. The only difference here was that the two were to hit the same person and both got in each others way. As a result, each had to go after the person who spoiled the hit, and naturally it was each other. In Prizzi's Honor, Nicholson throws over a mafia don's daughter and hooks up with Turner. of course they are ordered to hit each other but Prizzi's Honor comes off like a black comedy.
