" Two assassins agree to work together as one tries to avenge his wife and the other collect a reward for a job. Another film with Scott Adkins and JCVD together. Both JCVD's son and daughter are also in this. JCVD doesn't do as much of his usual martial arts, but still the action in this movie is pretty good. The acting is alright and the plot is interesting. Some scenes are pretty emotional especially one scene that is shown a few times. The ending was a nice finish."

"2.10, DVD Kiinnosti lähinnä sen takia että tässä on Expendables 2:n kaksi tähteä pääosassa. Kuitenkin osoittautui epäomaiperäiseksi ja tylsäksi kostoleffaksi, jossa Van Damme on välillä ihan ok mutta Scot Adkins on ihan perseestä. Periaatteessa voisi antaa yhden tähden, mutta koska odotin jatkuvasti jotain parempaa niin ei kokemuskaan niin perseestä ollut. En katso enää ikinä"

"27.9 Kyllhän täänkin nyt aineskin kertaalleen katselee, ilman mitään, mutta toisella vahtaamisella saattaa tuntua jo aika tyhjältä. Van Damme ja Scott Adkins on ilo nähdä jälleen kerran samassa elokuvassa."

"Kiva, kiitti, ja hei! Venäläinen mies oli dubannut kaikki äänet. Jaksoin katsoa ehkä kaks minuuttia. Se siitä sitten. Tavallaan katsoin kymmenen leffaa, jos No Retreat, No Surrender lasketaan mukaan. Olen niin vitun perseestä, että en jaksa enää."

"I wanted to watch a Van Damme movie. I was a fan back in the 90's and took a long since the last time I watched one. I found a more mature Van Damme, not the one who used to kick butts left and right... but equally effective to defeat the bad guys! "

Not enough action, too much drab drama

“"People choose their death when they choose how they live."

Somewhat competent yet unremarkable, Assassination Games is another low-budget action-thriller of the well-worn hitman subgenre variety. The big draw of this otherwise undistinguished action fare is that it stars aging action icon Jean-Claude Van Damme and rising star Scott Adkins, both of whom are incredible fighters both on and off the screen. However, while Assassination Games is moderately entertaining throughout, director Ernie Barbarash and writer Aaron Rahsaan Thomas chose to craft not an all-out, cheesy action fiesta but rather a gritty revenge flick more concerned with melodrama, thus failing to capitalise on the phenomenal ass-kicking potential of an Adkins/Van Damme team-up.
