The person he trusted most betrayed him all along? Wow! What a unique and unheard of twist in movies that deal with assassins!

[@holychrist1465]

its a 2010 movie so it wasnt cliche at that time

Didn’t this happen in the first new Mission Impossible movie some years back?

[@smackinmatt]

@@holychrist1465 Its been around longer than 2010. Indiana Jones the Last Crusade off the top of my head. The bad guy literally tells him "dont trust anyone" and then at the end of the movie says "i told you not to trust anyone". its not a new twist. but shit, it does make me feel old as fuck.

I remember going to see this in theaters with my dad. Both of us thought it was going to be a much more action oriented movie. Probably about 1/4 of the way in I started to feel disappointed that it clearly wasn't. By the end though I was quite pleased with the film. The little action there is does seem highlighted by everything else being slower.

The best way to be accurate on spy and espionage business, is like how green berets spends like years to assign location and intermingle with locals like either volunteers or rouge medics while collecting info and training people to be armed and ready for conflicts

[@YESITSWILL]

I think people are hating on this movie because they want the typical hitman, John Wick, Jason Bourne super killer movie. I think this one is more realistic. It's not an action movie about a super assassin. It's a movie about human regrets , mistakes, and penitence.

[@samueljones621]

This is why, every tenured assassin ends his call with his handler with: "Roger that, but just in case, u KNOW if anythin out of the ordinary happens, I know where ur little boi sleeps rite?" o.o

[@Vasilia4]

@@TalkingFlannel no she didn't. It was Pawel

[@Tim_Dunkin]

It was his gf but still yeah. He saved her just to kill her w/o hesitation bc of the possibility of a blown cover but then went to the only guy that actually knew about him, trying to figure out how he was found, even taking a location to go to from the guy. And didn't think to kill him. 🤔 Is he a cautious person or just a dick for killing his gf? 😂 😂

[@samstar3604]

LOL goddamn... I'm so used to these kinds of movies using the love interest as a kidnapped plot device as a motivator for the hero that it surprised me that he just murdered his GF in cold blood.

11:40 it's Clara not madiltha, Madiltha was the assassin who got killed back in the alley..

[@Bayan1905]

I've seen over the years some very accurate rifles made from surplus sporterized military rifles, off the shelf Walmart hunting rifles. Most people don't realize that you can take a cheap bolt action rifle and turn it into something you can easily put shots in a small circle at 400-500 yards with minimal effort and money. The one place to spend money, a good scope, even an entry level Leupold will do. I had a sporterized Swedish M96 Mauser that was made in 1900 that would shoot amazing groups well out past 100 yards with open sights. I once owned a H & R Handi Rifle .308, a gun that was about $300 new at the time. I free floated the stock and put on a Leupold Vari-X II 2-7 power scope that I got used. That gun shot as well as some of the nicer bolt actions I had.

6:59 - no trained gunman would walk around like that.
