The Assignment (1997)
Should I see it?
No.



Except for a few mildly interesting but ultimately fleeting moments, this entire film feels like its made out of the dropped scenes from a thousand better action films. Aiden Quinn, Ben Kingsley and Donald Sutherland recite lines and hit their blocking as they sleepwalk through this unfortunate, derivative production about a Navy officer that is tasked by the CIA to impersonate a terrorist. It would have been better if the filmmakers impersonated people who could make a reasonably good movie.
