Loading... The Assignmentby Walter HillThis was very odd and not entirely successful. It’s a graphic novel of a movie I’d never heard of, directed by Walter Hill and starring Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver. The concept is simple and reasonably offensive. A hitman wakes up after being kidnapped by an enemy to find that they’ve operated on him and given him a sex change. Cue a pretty standard revenge tale with lots of nudity and violence that never really grapples with the idea at its heart. It ends up feeling like the first book in an alternative universe trans-remake of the Executioner series. Odd, poorly conceived and basically pointless. ( ) “It’s what I do. I kill people. Whack them . Ice them . Murder them. Call it what you will.” Pretty regular assassin story at the start, then an AWESOME twist on page 43! What the hell??? Now THAT is revenge! And then another "twist" at the end? Come on man! I very much enjoyed this unique take on an old assassin/revenge tale! Crazy! |
