Assassin

(2015) ★

Sky Movies Premiere: PREMIERE Friday 6 November, 6am and 2pm

Reunited on screen for the first time since 1991’s The Krays, Martin and Gary Kemp bring a bit of geezer credibility to a dismal gangland Brit-flick from J.K. Amalou, the man who made Hard Men with ‘Mad’ Frankie Fraser in 1996. He’s obviously learned little in the meantime.

Squinty-eyed West Ham wideboy Danny Dyer is the Lunnon hitman who learns that his last target was the estranged dodgy dad of Holly Weston, the sexy nightclub dancer he loves. It’s hard out here for a hitman. Not to be confused, then, with Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s film festival hit The Assassin. As for Amalou, he directed Dyer in Deviation too.
