Suspenseless, plastic and contrived. Rent Best Seller, The Professional or The Mechanic instead, all far superior films about professional hit men.

Entirely confused and annoyingly confusing action inanity. Donner should know better.

Face-clawingly awful; a textbook example of everything that's wrong with Hollywood.

Good early script by the Wachowski brothers that falls apart in the finale.

Has the word "ass" in the title twice; entire plot based on "who is number one," yet entire movie is large number two.
